CINEMANIA’S
opinion:
Marc
Dugain
(director
of
The
Royal
Exchange)
discovers
the
excellent
Olivier
Gourmet,
perfect
as
the
miserly
Mr
Grandet,
in
this
adaptation
of
Balzac’s
novel.
Playing
opposite
him,
the
young
actress
Josephine
Japy,
discovered
in
Yves
Angelo’s
Grey
Souls
(2005)
and
Melanie
Laurent’s
Breathe
(2014),
proves
her
talent,
this
time
in
a
more
classic
repertory.
She
develops
her
character
by
a
delicate
mix
of
transparency
and
moderation.
Eugenie
is
the
passive
(and
forced)
witness
of
a
contradictory
epoch,
that
of
a
France
divided
between
the
end
of
the
Monarchy
and
the
Revolution,
marked
by
industrial
development,
the
advent
of
the
bourgeoisie
and
therefore
the
reign
of
money.
A
harsh
historical
drama
whose
gracious
stage
setting
makes
it
a
singular
work
well
worthwhile.
