I hear that Dangerous Beauty is "absolutely gorgeous, sexual, sex-positive,
engrossing . . . and a true story too." Anyone heard of this film, it's
not even listed in XL this week.

I saw Dangerous Beauty in a theatre. It is indeed sumptuous,
provocated, beautifully acted, and based on a true story. I read somewhere,
however that the filmmakers took many liberties with history for the
sake of drama. Can't fault them for that, really. Rufus Sewell fans
should be in 7th heaven.

I thought that movie was about Charlotte.
And it actually took place way in the past, you say?
And it's not quite accurate history-wise?
Well, the title sure is on the mark.

Hadn't heard of it either. But I prefer to think that James Berardinelli has.
Maybe, though, he writes his reviews first and then goes to see the movie to see if it checks out to be what he thought it would be:
Marie Baie des Anges
A Film Review by James Berardinelli
France, 1997
U.S. Release Date: beginning 6/19/98 (limited)
Running Length: 1:30
MPAA Classification: R (Violence, sexuality, profanity)
Theatrical Aspect Ratio: 2.35:1
Cast: Vahina Giocante, Frederic Malgras
Director: Manuel Pradal
Producer: Philippe Rousselet
Screenplay: Manuel Pradal
Cinematography: Christophe Pollock
Music: Carlo Crivelli
U.S. Distributor: Sony Pictures Classics
In French with subtitles
Some films use a strong narrative to explore themes. Others utilize detailed character development for the same purpose. More rare
are movies like Marie Baie des Anges, which attempts to use images and atmosphere to convey emotions and advance the plot.
This is the kind of motion picture that will frustrate anyone who looks for a solid storyline, but may fascinate viewers who aren't
bothered by this reliance upon the compelling power of well-photographed visuals. In other words, only art house audiences need
bother. Marie Baie des Anges is slow moving but hypnotic, and always pretty to look at even when the story strays into the realm of
the improbable and the incomprehensible.
The film stars the alluring and sensual Vahina Giocante as Marie, a 15 year-old girl who spends her summer wandering the beaches
in the South of France. Using her undeniable charms to enflame the libidos of several American soldiers (all portrayed as unflattering
caricatures), she enjoys their attention as they take her to nightclubs and ply her with champagne. When she is around them, she
feels like a queen. But Marie is a tease, and the GIs soon tire of her.
In parallel with Marie's story, the film introduces us to 17 year-old Orso (Frederic Malgras), an outsider who is also spending his
summer on the French Riviera. Like Marie, Orso does not feel bound by the conventions of society, but his rebellion manifests itself
in violence and lawlessness. Orso is easily one of the most dangerous and uninhibited boys roaming the beaches. Ultimately, he
and Marie meet, and, although their initial encounter is unfriendly, they soon find themselves attracted to each other, and embark on
a journey to an island paradise. However, reality intrudes.
Manuel Pradal, making his directorial debut, treats the film as if it is a canvas, juxtaposing images of incredible sensuality, amazing
beauty, and graphic violence. In this movie, a picture is indeed worth a thousand words. The film shows how somewhere as beautiful
as the Riviera (and the "Baie des Anges" in particular) can conceal great pain and misfortune. Every shot is carefully selected to
emphasize the director's vision of how this Eden is a place of contradictions. By carefully choosing the times of day when the
lighting is just right, Pradal and cinematographer Christophe Pollock have sought to recreate the Riviera captured in the paintings of
Matisse.
For Marie Baie des Anges, Pradal has assembled a cast of newcomers and screen neophytes, many of whom came from poor
backgrounds. The two leads, Vahina Giocante and Frederic Malgras, have charisma, although Malgras occasionally shows his lack
of acting experience. Before landing this role, he lived in a caravan of Russian gypsies north of Paris. Giocante, a dancer for the
Marseilles Opera, was only 13 when Pradal chose her to play Marie, and she is a true natural. Already, she has been called "the
new Bardot" by virtually everyone. In the wake of her stunning debut here, there is little doubt that she will be heard from again.
Pradal's attention to visual detail has its pros and cons. On the positive side, it effectively captures the chaos of youth, when girls
and boys struggle with intimacy, clumsily learn about the power of sexuality, and feel the sting of rejection. It's not so much love that
eventually binds Marie and Orso together, as their unspoken recognition of how much they have in common. Too often, however,
Pradal becomes so enraptured with his visual poetry that he lets the thin narrative fragment to the point where it makes no sense.
For those willing to endure the frustration engendered by such lapses, Marie Baie des Anges offers a few unconventional pleasures.

James Berardinelli is, in my unremarkable opinion, the finest reviewer
on the Web, or most any place else. I *always* check his reviews for information on new films, and only very rarely have my on viewpoints differed
radically from his. I have only seen him give a perfect score to one film,
and that was Schindler's List.

Well, for one thing, he keeps nobody around to argue with him. :)
Ebert has visited James' site, and commented favorably on it. I find him
equally articulate, discerning, knowlegeable. I think you will agree after
you visit his site and check out some films that you have already seen.
S&E do not post their reviews in readable form, merely audio. I do not have
a sound card, so this is useless to me. Even so, I watch S&E each week,
and will continue to do so for the film clips, but for thorough, thoughtful
reviews, I prefer James. I have been his fan even BEFORE he had a website.

Of the above, I have only seen three of them.
Chasing Amy - HATED it. Very vulgar.
Mansfield Park - I really liked it, but Jane Austen would roll over in her grave if she could see what they've done to spice up her novel.
Talented Mr. Ripley - Disliked it; Matt Damon's character came off as unwitting and clueless, not malevolent like I believe the author intended.

Autumn, have you seen the earlier film adaptation of "The Talented Mr. Ripley"? It's a French film from the early 1960's called "Purple Noon". It's available in both sub-titled and English-dubbed versions. It's the movie which launched Alain Delon as an international star.

Yes, I did enjoy the film. I saw the sub-titled version in the theater when it was it was re-released about a year and a half ago. Delon is wonderful as Tom Ripley. The director Martin Scorcese admired the film so much he was responsible for the reissuing of a clean, new print.
