The antithesis of Duras' text, 6 September 2003

In the writing, all is inviting, intimate, sensual--one can feel Duras

aching to press the reader close to her flesh, to attempt to bring us

inside her. The movie is bewilderingly flat, unabsorbing--"Brechtian." Duras states and presents rather than

whispers and bewitches. The highlight is Michel Lonsdale's

rendering of the emotional center of Duras' story--the Vice Consul,

driven mad by love. Duras believed that there would be nothing

more dolorous or horrific than the inarticulate cries of pain that

escape this onetime definition of manhood. As Lonsdale

produces the Vice Consul's shrieks, you know she's right.
