Okay, I can see how this film got lost in the shuffle- it's a quiet odd smart film that deals with quiet odd smart people. But it's worth seeing.
The acting is wonderful, the children and Juliette Binoche are magnificent. And Richard Gear was lovely too, although I thought miscast. Not having read the book, though, perhaps he was perfectly cast, but I found him so handsome that I couldn't believe he had these problems! Shallow on my part, I know, but there it is.
The children and the complex rich story carry this film, and they do it well. It was photographed lovingly, and the music was great too.
But as a Juliette Binoche fan, she remains the main reason to see this gem.
