Merci!! Audrey Tautou et.al

Rating: 7/10 (27 May 2006)

I have to agree.......Tom Hanks was not my first choice for this intellectual genius codebreaker. Audrey Tautou is fabulous in her sensitivity to the French style of portrayal, she is after all French!@@!! A good match too for a physical likeness of Mary Magdeline. Ian McKellen is stunning and wins the award. I do like the work of the cinematographer and the editing pace is interesting visually. The digital/historical flashbacks are unique and work. Having been to Villa Villette myself it was a joy to see the place and of course Paris has amazing architecture, how can you make a bad film in front of or in the Louvre??? Thank you I.M.Pei for your work--- without this the film could not have been made.... Creates an interesting and maybe much needed dialog about faith, myth, and culture.
