Summary: Glorious cinematography, compelling acting
Review: One of the most cinematically beautiful films you will see this or any year. It is a treat for serious cinephiles; but is probably too subtle and slow for most mainstream tastes. Jeremy Irons is wonderful, as usual, and Patricia Kass is hauntingly beautiful and compelling. The story is thought provoking at times, slightly quirky, and implausible with moments of subtle humor; but it is all thoroughly enjoyable to watch. The script too is mostly perspicacious with a few memorable lines such as, "Life is a deep sleep. And love is the dream." The film is mostly in French with some English. The subtitles are easy to read on the widescreen DVD format.

Summary: Romance with a twist
Review: The movie would be worth it, if just for the singer/actress Patricia Kaas performance alone (she sings all of her own songs no dubbing)add Jeremy Irons who plays a con with a heart, sit back enjoy.

Summary: Unbelievable and Exciting
Review: This movie is beautiful and exciting. The songs of Patricia Kaas (I went out and sent for two of her discs as soon as I got home from the theatre)as well as her acting is superb. Jeremy Irons is also excellent. The movie goes back and forth in time but just as I began to consider it was confusing, everything fell into a dynamic place. I only wish this film were in more than limited release. The locales of the film: Morocco and places in Europe were breathtaking. THE MOVIE IS POETRY.

Summary: SHEER PLEASURE
Review: We first saw this film in a movie theatre and we were so captivated by it that we ordered the DVD. Granted, Jeremy Irons was my impetus for going to the movie but what a treat to discover Patricia Kaas. Her voice is unbelievably beautiful plus she is a gorgeous chanteuse. The scenery, especially in Morocco, is beautiful. The minor roles are extremely well cast from a lascivious bartender to a wealthy ladies man. A well written and witty script adds to the enjoyment. Granted, the ending does seem a mite contrived but what a pleasure it was to get there.
