“Brilliant for the precise description of a very subtle frame of mind. Adeleu0026#39;s ways are not obsessionu0026#39;s expressions, not love or ambition. It is only necessity to live, to be, to build a sense without the protective fatheru0026#39;s shadow.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd Adjani is charming in a great character who engrosses audienceu0026#39;s energy. It is a desireu0026#39;s story but not only desire. It is a cruel adventure, mixed madness and ambition, Emma Bovary worldu0026#39;s slices, fear and expectation and an absurd fight.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt is a grotesque Don Quixoteu0026#39;s story with oily nuances. Story of propriety like existenceu0026#39;s purpose. The dream like escape and the rules like useless convention. In fact,a strange illustration of u0026quot;Beyond Good and Evilu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA beautiful film about desireu0026#39;s monstrosity,helplessness, misunderstanding,misfortune, illusionu0026#39;s honey and feelingu0026#39;s corpse.”
