Movie Review by B Movie Ben

March 2nd, 2008

Brava for Christina Ricci

Favorite Movie Quote: "It's better to run and live than to stay and die."

Excellent performances by such stars as Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp and John Turturro, but the film was stolen by Christina Ricci, who shone brightly as the girl trying to get to America to find her father.

Written and directed by Sally Potter, this was a beautiful film about love and loss.

Ricci's father left for America, and she, a Russian Jew, escaped her homeland and was raised in England. She moved to France to find work as a singer to earn the money to get to America.

She meets a dancer, Blanchett, who befriends her and eventually saves her life. She also meets a Gypsy (Depp) with whom she falls in love.

Turturro is an Italian opera singer who exposes her to the Germans when they take Paris. He gave a great performance as someone who was only interested in his success and please.

An interesting movie throughout.
