French Director Claire Denis' "Let the Sunshine In" Stars Juliette Binoche - il est merde
Claire Denis is a French director of high acclaim. Denis does not have the claim to fame in the US because her films are not directed to American audiences that require more than angst and sexual liaisons to lure one's attentiveness. The film boasts the illuminating actress Juliette Binoche as Isabelle, an artist whose search for a sole mate is one long arduous canvas of unrequited love. Binoche whose magnetic on film does not have the star power to overcome a script bereft of emotional depth. Gerard Depardieu plays a psychic at the very end of the film (which is way too long in coming). Depardieu's bumbling new age merde gives the film's finale its final painfully relentless moments. This intended high brow artsy saga of searching for love will not fly off the ground in any town USA. Don't waste your time. Fermez l'cinema ceci.
