NOT WORTH CONSUMING
Meh.
Beautifully shot, an interesting story, but those sex scenes were just creepy. I’d read the novel for a class when I was in high school and had enjoyed it enough to read more Duras, but now I just couldn’t get past the idea that I was watching a 15-year-old girl with a 35-year-old man. The movie is also very slow, so a lot of the action in the movie is, well, the two of them getting it on. I guess I’m just used to movies where they cut away after 15 seconds.
