Director Emir Kusturica makes his onscreen debut in this 19th century tale of a loyal, strong-willed woman who follows her soldier husband to a desolate French territory off the coast of Newfoundland. Madame La (Juliette Binoche) lives in marital bliss on the island of Saint-Pierre with her loving, oddball husband (Daniel Auteuil), simply called "the Captain" by his charges. Their world is upset one night, however, when two visiting sailors on a bender murder a local citizen. Neel usturica is sentenced to death, but the other one dies in a carriage accident before reaching prison. As the island waits for a guillotine (or "widow" ) to be shipped from the French government, Madame La does her best to convince the townspeople that Neel is genuinely good of heart and doesn't deserve a bloody fate. La Veuve de Saint-Pierre marks the second time that Auteuil has worked with director Patrice Leconte: their first effort, La Fille Sur la Pont, earned him a Best Actor award at the Cesars, France's equivalent to the Academy Awards.
Quote:
A mastery of subtext. Psychological complexity. Aesthetic austerity achieved despite the authentic use of period costume and locales. A wholly welcome refusal to slouch toward sentimentality. These are just some of the most important reasons that this film from French director Patrice Leconte must be accounted as among the increasingly prominent artist's finest works. Superb performances from leads Daniel Auteuil, Juliette Binoche, and director Emir Kusturica certainly don't hurt. But it's really the marvelous script by Claude Faraldo and Leconte's intelligent helmsmanship that result in a historical drama as eerily absorbing as a David Lynch film but offering the romantic style, wit, and insight of a Jane Austen adaptation. La Veuve de Saint-Pierre (2000) is a subtle effort with charms that might be lost on a sensibility deadened by years of exposure to the obvious and telegraphed, but viewers with patience and appreciation for quality will be richly rewarded with a devastating, powerful finale. -- Karl Williams
