4.0 out of 5 stars Overlooked and intelligent., 8 Jul 2004
By Mark Angus "Sound Guy" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This film is currently unavailable on PAL, which is a pity as it deserves a wider release. 'The Lover' is perhaps best remembered for being Jane March's first role, and for being 'erotic'. It is both these things, but also an excellent film. Based on a Marguerite Dumas novel, the film concerns the relationship between a young, poor French girl and a local Chinese playboy. It is one of the few films to really tackle the subject of a strongly sexual relationship in a way which is both believable and yet not tacky. Jane March's performance brings the strong character of the novel vividly to life, and is backed by some marvellous photography and sets, which reek of post-colonial decay. A marvellously weighted narration (of passages from the novel) by Jeanne Moreau lends the film a serious and literary tone that balances the high eroticism of the sex scenes, and her weary, cracking voice back up the sense of realistic autobiography.

In all, a film which is evocative, spicy and intelligent, and worthy of a PAL DVD release some day soon.
