La Belle Epoque Movie Review. With daniel auteuil, guillaume canet, doria tillier, fanny ardant. Full review | original score:
If you’ve ever seen karel reisz’s superb the french lieutenant’s woman (1981); The belle epoque period of history was defined as a golden phase before world war i that was highlighted by regional peace, prosperity and innovation. Or michel gondry’s eternal sunshine of the spotless mind (2004), you may find something familiar in nicolas bedos’ la belle époque.
La belle époque is directed by nicolas bedos and stars veteran french actors daniel auteil and fanny ardant in a story about love, ageing and memory.
With daniel auteuil, guillaume canet, doria tillier, fanny ardant. This brilliantly conceived drama of love and loss is. Fernando trueba's sexy, bittersweet and contemplative comedy, belle epoque (at the royal and esquire), takes us back in time and place to an uncertain but hopeful moment of calm before the storm. When a movie needs a car to crash into a wall or perhaps do a flip over, this is the man who is called in to do the job.
