Editorial Reviews
Kevin Thomas, LA Times
"A stunning experience... no one can charge an image with so much emotion, so much thought. Confounding, utterly demanding and finally stunning expression of a longing for emotional and spiritual redemption."
Product Description
OH WOE IS ME (Helas Por Moi) is a staggeringly beautiful masterwork by one of the greatest directors of all time, Jean-Luc Godard (Breathless, Masculine/Feminine, Weekend) starring Gerard Depardieu (Jean de Florette, Cyrano de Bergerac, The Last Metro) in an intense but brilliantly restrained performance. In this passionate tale of love and betrayal, the Greek god Zeus may have entered the body of Simon (Depardieu) to experience love and sexual desire with Simon's radiantly beautiful wife Rachel. In a modern Swiss lake side resort, a book publisher arrives to investigate and solve this mystery. Did this event really happen? Has Rachael been unfaithful to her husband, herself and her God? One of the most critically praised feature films to be theatrically released in 1994, HELAS POUR MOI is a poetic and profound quest for spiritual meaning.
