Belle du Seigneur (2012). 1h 44m

“The film is unfortunately a deceptive adaptation of this great and complicate XXth century love story novel by Albert Cohen. Some women friends of mine commented, itu0026#39;s pretty unconceivable to understand how a male writer could so well understand and describe and write (about) womanu0026#39;s psychology, womanu0026#39;s inside.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI loved the book a lot but not the film, pretty poor. I like Meyers as an actor but here, imho, he looks too young (he was 35 then) as Solal, even if Solal had a vertiginous social climb.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt about 31 minutes into the film, we can see a very nice wood house at the Geneva lake. I knew the (unnice) owners so I went there once or twice. For the ones interested, you can see it in Promenthoux at 46.391986° 6.267007° in Google Maps.”
