Catherine Deneuve, acting for Via Tasso. Willfully miscast to serve as a whitewall to the triumph of a youthful procreator temporarily distracted by cemeteries and a bottle of champagne, and to be intersected as the progenitrix of Ludivine Seigner,or lability and knee-jerks on a flight of much younger stairs, she just couldn't do the job thus proving, once again, in these particulate times, that women are also actresses and film is film. Kudos also for Paul Schneider acting: "I do not love you" to Chiara Mastroianni, a brain addled shock troop sidecar who just could not get the message, continuing to vitrine chintzy destroyal of personality techniques -I love you I will eat you say Dis-nay-. Oscar,Cannes performance unless you still feel like yanking Meryl Streep's clit for her bravura in portraying starvers.
