Place Vendôme
Something to do with a jeweler's widow and some hot rocks. Uncinematic in conception. Unclear in execution. Trés gray and dull, dark and dreary. But the French actress Nicole Garcia (Mon Oncle d'Amerique, etc.), in her new role as a director and co-author, gives a meaty role to her lead actress, Catherine Deneuve, who polishes it off with exquisite table manners. Jean-Pierre Bacri, Emmanuelle Seigner, Jacques Dutronc, Bernard Fresson. 1998.
