Movie Reviews of Claire's Knee
Movie Review: Anthem of a Paedophile
Summary: 1 Stars
In the 70's films such as this were the stable viewing fodder of the middle class intelligentsia. Searching for something which was not a Mills and Boon romance or an action adventure movie films such as there were seen as sensative and relevant. In reality this film is not about much at all. An upper middle class male about to marry holidays with a friend. He meets two young women, one ugly (she is not but she has frizzy hair) and another beautiful. He desires to touch the knee of the attracitve one but she finds him rather repellent. He has a sort of teasing relationship with the other one and messes up her life. The end of the film allows our hero to manipulate the grief of Claire so that he can achieve his amibition of touching her knee.
It is hard know to realise the attraction of this film. The dialouge is long winded and tedious. The characters talk endlessly but never about anything.
The attraction of the film is more about the style of the film rather than the content or the form. The house in which the action takes place and the country side are beautifull. The characters have a sort of sophistication around their life, what they drink, what they eat which has been attractive to those outside France. The two female leads are gorgous and the film is well acted.
The only negative is that it is a boring talkative film which is about a self indulgent bore. One sees it and thinks a nuclear war destroying all these characters would not be the end of the world. Still some people probably like it.
