Cinema Voyage - Michael Pearson

This blog is PRIMARILY about movies. Some dvd and some that are still in the theater. Also, links are provided on some movies if you decide you want to purchase it. Also, I write and read quite a bit. So, you may, from time to time see a book review here from an up-and-coming author or an interview with one. If you have a book that you have written, please don't hesitate to contact me if you want an unbiased opinion. I would be happy to read and review what you've written. We should value our creative people more.

Collette's Cheri Hits The Big Screen

June 16th 2009 02:40

Cheri marks the return of Michelle Pfeiffer to the big screen since 2007's release of Stardust and Hairspray - this time in a period piece adapted from French novelist Colette's novel of the same name.

No stranger to costume dramas, in Cheri, Michelle plays a retired courtesan by the name of Lea de Lonval who breaks the cardinal rule - allowing herself to fall in love with a young man nicknamed Cheri (Rupert Friend).

Cheri's mother, Charlotte Peloux (Kathy Bates) who arranged the meeting between that of her son and fellow courtesan Lea, is totally unprepared for the relationship which ultimately lasts for a number of years. Charlotte is keen for him to marry into wealth to Edmee (Felicity Jones), 18-year-old daughter of another ex-courtesan Marie-Laure (Iben Hjejle) and Lea and Cheri are forced to part ways.

It is only after they separate do they truly realise how much they mean to one another.

Directed by Stephen Frears, many reviews show that this is not on par with Frear's Dangerous Liaisons (1988), also starring Michelle Pfeiffer, but those who enjoy period pieces should get their money's worth.
