5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning realisation Totaly spoiled by dubbing in US-English, 1 April 2000
By E. M. Preston "radiokinver.co.uk" (Kinver South Staffordshire) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of a series of movies that the immaculate Isabelle Huppert has made of great French classic books and plays. Her Madame Bovary was a genuine triumph in that for the first time I empathised with the heroine in spite of herself. Here we have an odd blend of film within the making of the play. Where Dumas fils is directing the first production of La Dame aux Camellias in Paris. The use of the Verdi opera theme was odd as the opera followed the play by a longish time, but that is to nit pick. We feel and almost smell what is was like for the young Alexander Dumas, over shadowed always by his colossus of a father. The cynicism of the relationships in this accurate depiction of the demi -monde will not be to everyone's taste. But it has artistic truth as well as great verismo. The French - Italian cast acquit themselves superbly. Do not buy this version though, the dubbing into English renders the film trite and silly, whoever did the translations was bowdlerizing as he went along. Get a sub titled version, not for snobbish reasons but so you can hear the voices timbre, and feel in what you hear the genuine feelings of these characters. A masterpiece but I wish I had not bought it and indeed would not have done had I realised that it was dubbed. My mistake, Amazon is good in clearly stating Subtitles, there was no such statement, I should have realised its absence meant dubbing! But do see this and be prepared for realism as well as romance! Here we have the tale of the real affaire as well as the version in both the book and various movies. Divine though Garbo looked, this is the reality of prostitution at the up market end at the time of the Second Empire of Napoleon III. The abatoir secen is true, my medical historian friends confirm!
