A revenge from a woman who become broked
Very surprised by the quality of the film: betrayal, corruption, greed, revenge are the key words of this film. I did not know before watching the film that these characters really exist and at the end we witness their fate and how they died. Surprised to have seen Hitler too (his character obviously). We also witness Madeleine's revenge against Gustave. We identify completely with her and we also want to make Gustave pay. Of having ruined Madeleine. Some sensual and sexual scenes were quite pleasant. It is overall the story of a revenge and I generally appreciated the steps to manage to corner Gustave and counter him. The character played by Olivier Gourmet and Jeremy Lopez are interesting because they too have to pay because they were in league with Gustave. As well as Madeleine's blackmail on Leonce. The story of Solange and the little boy was touching; we are sad at the end for the singer who dreamed of a career but who ends up being deprived of a trip to Germany. But his legacy to the little one will make others happy. A film that I greatly appreciated and describes the vultures around a woman when she inherits a financial empire. A film that reserves its share of surprises and moments where we observe Madeleine acting for her son and for herself. A pleasant discovery that I recommend.
