"The Lovers." Quite disappointing in some respects,

63.177.64.30

yet the cinematography and the male supporting cast, with the solitary exception of the BLAND young archaeologist (it is unthinkable that with her husband and polo-lover she'd elope with this walking blob of oatmeal) saves it.
Jeanne is...well, cold as ever. This is an obvious tribute to "Madame Bovary," but Flaubert's picture, over several hundred pages, manages to make her "simpatica."
Moreau is a hare-brained, bored housewife---and a terrible mother, to boot. No wonder her husband disappears as soon as she appears!
The cinematography is splendid and it alone makes a viewing worthwhile.
The famous seduction scene, though a tad long, is a elegiac to Mde. Bovary's carriage ride...
