Movie Reviews of Cousin Bette
Movie Review: Don't Mess with Cousin Bette; your life is at stake
Summary: 5 Stars
Sometimes it just does not pay to screw with someone's emotions.Not since the wickedly cool performance of Glenn Close in DANGEROUS LIAISONS has there come another so deliciously detached revenger as Cousin Bette.Jessica Lange could not have been a better choice to play the woman whom once scorned will manipulate everything and everybody to achieve her perfect reckoning.Yes,this is a screenplay based out of the Balzac novel COUSIN BETTE which may upset the purists,but as an adaptation,the spirit of Balzac is wickedly and comically captured and I dare say you will ever see a better Bette on screen than Jessica Lange.This film truly has an all-star Academy Award studded cast with Bob Hoskins(MRS.HENDERSON PRESENTS),Elisabeth Shue(LEAVING LAS VEGAS),Hugh Laurie(now Golden Globe winner for HOUSE), Kelly MacDonald (GOSFORD PARK) and Geraldine Chaplin (DR.ZHIVAGO)
Excellent companion films would be DANGEROUS LIAISONS and COLONEL CHABERT (also an adaptation from Balzac)
