Three-hour French costume piece covering decades in the life -- early 20th Century -- of a disillusioned reverend turned industrialist. Painfully slow in spite of (or partly on account of) a hectic visual style: haphazard cutting, a groping, staggering camera. An appetite for antique costumes will be satisfied in any case. Charles Berling, Emmanuelle Béart, Isabelle Huppert; directed by Olivier Assayas. (2000) — Duncan Shepherd
