Back in the 70's and 80's, Isabelle Adjani was the most highly acclaimed French actress, she was even bigger than Catherine Deneuve back then (she won a staggering 5 Césars (the French Oscars) during her career). Unfortunately, after 'La Reine Margot' released in 1994, her career went nowhere and in France, she came more often in the news concerning her private life than for her (disappointing an... read more
Description:
In spring 1976, a 19-year-old beauty, her German-born mother, and her crippled father move to the town of a firefighter nicknamed Pin-Pon. Everyone notices the provocative Eliane. She singles out Pin-Pon and soon is crying on his shoulder (she's myopic and hates her reputation as a dunce and as easy); she moves in with him, knits baby clothes, and plans their wedding. Is this love or some kind of plot? She asks Pin-Pon's mother and aunt about the piano in the barn: who delivered it on a November night in 1955? Why does she want to know, and what does it have to do with her mother's sorrows, her father's injury, this quick marria

" This movie should just be called "Isabelle Adjani is really hot, so we are going to show you her tits and ass for 2 hrs." That was basically the whole selling point. Alain Souchon is one of the ugliest dudes I've ever seen, and it was bewildering seeing him paired with this goddess of a woman. To even see them simulate sex is traumatic. The man looks like a drowned insect with fried hair jfl. I'll stop bullying the man but the plot is a total disappointment and so bad. Isabelle plays a ven"
