Balzac: A Life of Passion Reviews
One of the best French movies made
When I first saw the movie I was hooked on the spot.The cast and the acting was good along with the sets and camerawork.Jeanne Moreau and Gerard Depardieu are a perfect match as mother and son in the film.But I wanted to see more of Jeanne Moreau in the film and want to see more highs and lows in the mother-son relationship.The scene which nearly made me cry was Moreau's character at the door asking for her son's forgiveness.Give Jeanne Moreau a good script and she will give you your money's work.
Good quality production
This is a good sturdy film about Balzac, with great cast, although one gets a little tired of Gerard being in every French production. Don't they have other actors? But this is beside the point, and in this movie he's done quite well. Jeanne Moreau is superb as his mother, and Ardant also gives a very satisfying performance. Overall, it's a good traditional production, in the realism style, and for those enjoying films of this kind it will be a pleasure to watch. But don't expect any novelty in it, and that's why I gave it 3 stars - I would want to see something more unusual or witty, maybe not such a traditional approach, something in style of the statue of Balzac by August Rodin.
