BERENICE TALKS..and in COLOR,
By
This review is from: The Grand Role (DVD)
After falling totally in love with her in THE ARTIST, I have begun to track down all other available Berenice Bejo films. THE GRAND ROLE was the first on my list. First off Berenice is as lovely, beautiful and charming in this one as she was as Peppy Miller. As the film begins she is as light and beautiful as a sunny day in Paris (okay. That was a little flowery, but she is a charmer.) Without giving anything away the tone gets much darker as the film goes on and Berenice is up to the task. She is a wonderful actress. I had never heard of her co-star,STEPHAN FREISS but after seeing this film I'll be looking for more with him in them as well as he is terrific in a difficult part. The two actors play a married couple and their love for one another is palpable. Beautifully done.My one problem with the film is that change of mood I mentioned above as it comes out of nowhere and seems contrived. Once you allow yourself to suspend disbelief it plays out well. Interesting to see Parisian Jews and to hear Yiddish with a French accent! There is also one very touching moment where an old man who is clearly a survivor of the camps, defends who he is in the world. Not a great film, but at a short 90 minutes, you could do far worse. And oh, that Berenice!! |
