5.0 out of 5 stars I agree, there is an I.Q. minimum for enjoying this film., September 29, 2005

This review is from: Beaumarchais the Scoundrel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I'm a professional historian, and I found this movie to be very true to the spirit of the eighteenth century. I loved the little inside jokes (for those of us who have studied the plays and the history of the times). My French roomate used this film in her introductory level French classes at Tulane. This is a must-see film for those who want to be introduced to pre-Revolutionary French culture. But, you have to be interested in the subject (seriously interested) in order to appreciate the film.

4.0 out of 5 stars This movie is excellent, October 28, 1999

This review is from: Beaumarchais the Scoundrel [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Despite the previous review, obviously penned by a Showgirls fan, this movie is excellent. Perhaps, like several other films, there is an I.Q. minimum required to enjoy this fine cinematic work. The lead actor, Fabrice Luchini, does a remarkable job portraying this character and I would enjoy seeing other films in which he has performed. In closing, please take any opportunity to view this film. If you dislike it as much as the previous reviewer did, then resign yourself to a life of the Beverly Hillbillies equaling the pinnacle of art.
