The first film of New York-based French director Raphael Nadjari is an adaptation of Dostoyevsky's The Gentle Creature, which had also inspired Une Femme douce of Robert Bresson. The Shade is a drama about a mysterious woman and a pawnbroker who meet in New York. The film begins with Simon, who is alone in his apartment with the corpse of his wife, Anna, who has just committed suicide. In his grief, he remembers the first time he met her, a year ago when she walked into his pawnbroker's shop in Spanish Harlem. Mysterious Anna, who seems to come from nowhere, impresses solitary Simon with her sad beauty, and he proposes to her on their first night out. The Shade is a love story with great psychological insight. 52nd Cannes Film Festival, 1999. ~ Gönül Dönmez-Colin, All Movie Guide

In this leisurely, meditative drama, Jo-Jo hears strange voices but it's nothing to worry about, since she's so passive and inactive that there's little danger of her acting on their instructions in a way which will endanger herself or others. Indeed, the real danger is that she will allow herself to drift into an unwelcome situation with a slimy phone-sex entrepreneur before she makes even the feeblest effort to avoid him. ~ Clarke Fountain, All Movie Guide
