Second episode of the series Le tourbillon de Jeanne, it is just a regal. First, for Jeanne Moreau and Gerard Depardieu. Second, for the voice of depardieu, reading. Not less, for the twist. Not last, for the whole story of a man accepting an ambiguous job , for mistery around a venerable lady, for fine reference to La lectrice by Raymond Jean, for the phone call between Monica and Jacques and, sure, for the moving call of Jacques.
It is one of films who propose to viewer a direct question ( in fact few, in this case ) about him and, in some measure, few seductive references to familiar, so familiar stories.
So, delightful, scene by scene.
