Went to see La Fille de Monaco

Went to see La Fille de Monaco (Anne Fontaine, 2008). With Fabrice Luchini (not doing too much Luchini here), Roschdy Zem and Louise Bourgoin. Not bad. Didn't like the end. Very hazy shades of Hors de prix, The Devil Is a Woman, Death in Venice or even The Blue Angel. Anybody who's ever been on either end of a pathetic-old-person-in-lust-with-young-person situation will appreciate (with culture and refinement always on the side of the old person). "Il venait d'avoir dix-huit ans," and all that sort of thing. Louise Bourgoin (Julien Doré's girlfriend it would seem) has got tremendous hair (a wig?) and the most amazing pair of legs in Europe. I had croissants at that Monaco hotel: the worst in my life, and the most expensive.
