I'm not sure how good this movie is without
Glenn Close. There is something stunning about her performance as a
manipulative woman in Baroque France. She carries the
movie on her shoulders, even making up for the uneven performance of that smarmy
John Malkovich. The story is devious and fascinating at the same time -- and
the cast is absolutely brilliant. From Michelle
Pfeiffer to Keanu Reeves (yep, remember him?) to Uma Thurman.
The most amazing scene in the film happens at the
tail end. As Glenn Close's character falls from grace in
the community, she plays out the final moments of the movie by wiping the makeup
from her face. The absolute tragedy of her embarrassment is stunningly
portrayed.
