Movie Reviews of Barocco
Movie Review: ANDRE TECHINE, OPUS 3
Summary: 2 Stars
** 1976. Co-written and directed by Andr? T?chin?. Three French C?sar awards (nine nominations) in 1977. Cold and affected, BAROCCO is not the Andr? T?chin? movie you should see first if you want to discover this director. You should rather try some of his more recent efforts like My Favorite Season or Strayed, movies which emit real feelings and are not as artificial as Barocco or THE BRONTE SISTERS shot right afterwards.
Summary of Barocco
A strange and beautiful variation on Vertigo, French director Andr? T?chin?'s Barocco (in English, "Baroque") stars Isabelle Adjani as the girlfriend of a boxer (G?rard Depardieu) who's being paid to smear a political candidate. When the boxer is killed, his killer (Depardieu again) follows Adjani, seeking the boxer's money--but he also grows obsessed with Adjani, and she in turn decides to remake him into her dead lover. Barocco, with its gorgeously composed cinematography and circuitous plot, evokes the style of directors like Fritz Lang and Alfred Hitchcock; it's as much an homage to other thrillers as it is a thriller itself. But very few movies wear their influences so successfully--despite the abstruseness of its plot, Barocco is full of hypnotic and dazzling images, and Depardieu and Adjani give intense, haunted performances. A movie for movie-lovers. --Bret FetzerArt House & International DVD Video
