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.
