5.0 out of 5 stars
A gem,
By Frequent gazer (Sweden) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firelight [1998] [DVD] (DVD)
This is one of the best films I have ever seen. Outstanding performances by Sophie Marceau and Stephen Dillane. Marceau is a superb actress, and here she really shines. The film has subtle yet simple and intelligent plot line(s), I discovered new finesses also at the fifth viewing. There is one medical implausibility, but I am willing to accept that in view of it's contribution to the unfolding of the story. I would have preferred a less abrupt ending (and would have loved to listen to Elisabeth and Louisa in the lake house), but that may only be a sign that I would like to have more of the kind of emotional experience that this film gave me. Since it is a period piece set in the 19th century, it will endure and not grow old for a long time.

.. by its beauty and intensity. The acting is the best imaginable. More leading roles for Stephen Dillane, please.

firelight,
By One-Eyes (Cumbria, GB) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Firelight [1998] [DVD] (DVD)
Hypnotic performances in a monochromatic set. A tale of fidelity and supressed passions. And one moment of such pain I defy you not to weep.
