THE JEWEL OF THE SEINE
Julie's character (celine) sketches european nobility upon the motion picture canvas. She's tough , firm, and yet graceful as the slow moving Seine. She knows who she is, she doesn't have to please anyone, a strong, independent soul, and yet lovely as the sun setting over Rouen. She's Paris, She's Europe, She's the spice in the bread, the cinnamon in the coffee. She has become this from the prequel. And yet little by little Celine's strong facade begins to crumble before the persistent charm of Ethan Hawke. Ethan's ( Jesse's ) a kind, trying to be well-mannered american friend to Celine; and doing a good job, but not at being as strong-minded as She. Poor Jesse : he's like a kid with a sweet tooth staring through a window at the world's lovliest eclair. I absolutely loved this movie. I watched it 20 times. I hope there's more...........
