I actually found this less engaging than "Star Trek: Nemesis" that I'd seen earlier the same day. At least I knew why Picard and Data wanted to love their respective dangerous doppelgangers. Kept thinking in the French film, this is paced just like too many American costume dramas. What on earth's happened since "Peppermint Soda," etc.? Now I see, though, in Imdb's listings, at least part of the problem. Kurys' "Les Enfants du siècle" was 135 minutes. Her American distributor's "Children of the Century" is 109, minus the time to run its logo.
Wait for the dvd. Maybe it'll reverse the damage. "Cet amour-là" is a much, much finer great writer/younger man film.
