Chéri, the latest movie by Stephen Frears. It's essentially the same movie as Dangerous Liaisons: a tragedy, somewhere in the not too distant past, about love and cynicism, with people you can sympathize with even though you do not share their morality. The tragedy becomes even darker because there are also some funny parts. Witty one-liners, brilliant acting, and beautiful costumes all add to this great movie. Only the farewell scene of the two lovers does not convince. Yet, sincerely recommended.
Question: did Frears ever make a movie that was not worth seeing? The Hit, My Beautiful Laundrette, Prick Up Your Ears, Sammie and Rosie Get Laid, Dangerous Liaisons, High Fidelity: they're all excellent.
