Fairhope Film Festival presents: The Girl from Monaco
03/19/2010
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. I wonder if in France, where he’s better known, people speak of a “Fabrice Luchini type.” Mr. Luchini, 57, who has appeared in dozens of movies, has over the years refined an adaptable persona that is recognizable across genres and periods. His startled-looking eyes, delicate chin and slight overbite convey a mixture of cynicism and cluelessness, as mature worldliness seems to do battle with childlike credulity. In “The Girl From Monaco” Mr. Luchini plays Bertrand Beauvois, an eminent Parisian lawyer who travels to that notorious principality on the Mediterranean to defend a 70-year-old woman (Stéphane Audran) implicated in a tawdry, tabloid-feeding murder. The case, however, proves to be something of a distraction, since Bertrand’s attention is quickly hijacked by Audrey Varella (Louise Bourgoin), a minor local celebrity — and major party girl — whose television weather report pretty much makes ordering soft-core pay-per-view on hotel-room cable redundant. If in the end “The Girl From Monaco” is neither a cogent psychological thriller nor an effervescent sex comedy, it does at least have an interesting sense of place.
