Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for fantasy fans.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 25 min.
- What might put you off
- It's in French, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
- Made in 1978: an older pace and style.
In a montage alternating with moments of Nigel Rogers' interpretation of the most beautiful passages from "Orpheus," the opera by Striggio and Monteverdi, La Nuit Claire is an evocation of the celebrated myth, within which images of the love between its two modern protagonists, Anne and Julien, are inscribed. - BAM/PFA
