Filmed as though the whole movie was a Lautrec painting, absolutely beautiful. Mel Ferrer was great as Lautrec and he managed to convey the deep sadness and self-hatred but ultimate humanity of the main character. Zsa-Zsa plays herself in just about every role she has ever had but for once, playing Zsa-Zsa was just the right touch for the character of Jane Avril. No one else could have done it better.

This is a supreme waste of time. My bride and I HATED this movie. We saw it in a theatre and after I suggested we leave 40 minutes into the film, my wife told me she wondered why I waited so long. Had we not been at a charity screening, we would have insisted upon a refund. This was only the second film we have walked out on in thirty+ years. For what it's worth, I have been unable to find a single movie critic who even disliked this movie. Am I alone on this one? Close this Review
