Rapid pileup of events and characters: an actress, a novelist, a corpse, an escaped convict, a capitulating politician, a Nazi spy, a Jewish nuclear scientist, among others. Personal concerns collide with global ones, in the best tradition of the wartime romance; and the plush production and photography (some lovely effects of rain) are worthy of the tradition, too. But there's an uncertainty of tone, or rather, a certain frivolity of tone -- an air of artificiality and detachment. With Isabelle Adjani, Gerard Depardieu, Grégori Derangère, Virginie Ledoyen, Yvan Attal, and Peter Coyote; directed by Jean-Paul Rappeneau. (2003) — Duncan Shepherd
