Jeanne Moreau is magnificent in this heartless exposure of a Welsh fraud of a man.
Cold and vicious she has certainly become in this role of Eva, but of course as with so many beautiful young women reaching their mid-years having born the burden in a good deal colder man's world, she knows precisely where to exact her revengeful pleasure in exposing a worthless lout, and still how to appreciate the care offered her by those select men who understand her just enough to appropriately please her. Brilliant photography. solid direction holding it all together, and just enough adherence to its novel source to keep your attention along with the magnificent level of detail provided by the skilled artistic director and production design team. All this and Venice too! I'm not really sure just why I didn"t give it a 10. Go figure!
