In Reply to: Yeah... I remember Zoe posted by Victor Khomenko on October 31, 2002 at 06:13:13:
Were it not for the demonic, intense utterly amoral and manic Gallic anti-hero that Jean Hughes Anglade portrays in that film, I might be inclined to agree with you. The character of "Eric" eclipses all other "baddies" in Tarantino scripted films; he makes all the others look like mere choir boys, even "Mr. Blonde" of Reservoir Dogs hasn't half the angst or evil of this Frenchman in "Zoe"
Julie Delphy and the rest of the cast are really only there as fluff, and the script itself is the Tarantino "failed robbery" scenario take 3, I agree with your opinion of the film overall, but for that one saving grace, "Eric" out-noirs all other Tarantino characters by miles in that one, he is quite the marvel
Eric (no relation)
Tokyo
Follow Ups:
Honestly, I didn't walk away with the impression that he was such almost ultimate evil, but I would admit that I was not watching very carefully. With my wife, watching ANY movie with Julie Delphy is an ordeal. I really don't know what she's got against the babe, but the reaction is always instant and fierce. The best she can call her is "that ugly white mouse". So every time Julie is in the film, I have to watch and listen through the endless critical remarks from the right seat... and obviously that detracts from the proper character digestion.
