2.0 out of 5 stars A rare misfire from Leconte, July 1, 2007

This review is from: Le Parfum d'Yvonne ( The Scent of Yvonne ) ( Yvonne's Perfume ) [ NON-USA FORMAT, PAL, Reg.2 Import - United Kingdom ] (DVD)

Le Parfum d'Yvonne is a rare misfire from Patrice Leconte that doesn't really work on any level. The main problem with this remembrance of love lost is the casting: Jean-Pierre Marielle is fine as the archetypal ageing queen and matchmaker-cum-chaperone, but neither Hippolyte Girardot or Sandra Majani bring much to the lovers, leaving us with fragments of a vague relationship between two people we don't care about. Not painful, but lacking purpose and capped off with an absurd ending that seems to be there simply to give the film an exclamation point.

Second Sight's PAL UK DVD has no extras but does offera good subtitled transfer in the film's original 2.35:1 ratio.
