So intelligent and unusual!,
By A Customer
This review is from: That Night in Varennes [VHS] [1989] (VHS Tape)
Superb performance of actors about a fantasy story based on a dramatic period of the french revolution. Common people and Giacomo Casanova share for coincidence this trip to Varennes and consider what has changed in society.

French Revolution period piece,
By M. La Vean "LaVean" - Published on Amazon.com
This is extremely well done. Costumes are excellent and well as the props settings and various scenes. It was the movie that made seek out a read Retif de la Bretonne. The movie takes several very strong and strictly in character persons and places them together on the coach following the fleeing King and Queen. I would say this is a must have for anyone interested in the French Revolution. I cant wait for this to be out on DVD.

Must come out on DVD,
By Orson Welles "Hollywood" - Published on Amazon.com
It's a shame that this wonderful film is out of print (going at the moment for $99.00 used!) and that it is not yet out on DVD, even in France or the UK. One can only hope it will eventually be released on DVD.

"IT'S NOT GOOD TO BE THE KING ANYMORE",
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
WHERE ELSE can you find : Marcello Mastroianni, Harvey Keitel, Hanna Schygulla and the great Jean-Louis Barrault sharing screen time? [Just to name a few of the stars].This brilliant realization of the 'race to save' the doomed Louis XVI is conceived by director Ettore Scola. Costumes by Gabriella Pescucci ["Dangerous Beauty"] and Production design by Oscar nominee - Dante Feretti ["Titus", "Kundun", etc.] authentically capture this remarkble premature-revolution rush to save the Sun King! In brief - a devoted royal, Schygulla, frantically tries to get the Royal Coronation robes to Varennees, where Louis, Marie-Antoinette and the rest of the family are in hiding; along the way her travel companions are respectively, Casanova, Thomas Paine [now in Europe, after our 1776 incident], and the historian de la Bretonne. Respectively played by, Mastroianni, Keitel, and Barrault, they are all magnificently in character especially Mastroianni, who leaves us with a moving, melancholy portrait, as the ageing Casanova [practially upstaging the rest of the talented thespians]. Barrault - is also a fascinating figure as the historian Nicolas Edme Restif de la Bretonne, passively observing the events. Can't say anymore - that would ruin the plot, the reasoning "behind the Royal Robes". THE WORK RIVALS the beauty of Kubrick's "Barry Lyndon" and Fellini's "Casanova" - worthy companions though! A rarely seen work, it well deserves a restored, wide-screen DVD release - long overdue! |
