I don't know why Pascale Bussieres isn't a huge star in the USA, while Julia Roberts is. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, America! Can't you see how beautiful and sexy Pascale is? Or are you just too Francophobic to watch French movies, even French Canadian movies?

I'm an American, and my French is limited to what I learned in high school forty years ago, but I watched this movie, all 2 hours of it, without subtitles, totally spellbound and enchanted with Pascale's performance--which was probably all the more fascinating because I couldn't understand what she was saying. But who needs dialog when Pascale is on the screen? She has never been more gorgeous and sexy, even though most of her shots are intimate closeups of her mouth, her eye, her hand, the silhouette of her thigh--WOW! And there are no real sex scenes except one that shows her from the shoulders up. Who cares! The camera explores her minutest details as if it's in love with her. And who can blame it.

I'll give this movie ten big thumbs up just for the way it takes us physically closer to the beautiful Pascale Bussieres than any other of her movies I've seen (still haven't seen Twilight of the Ice Nymphs or Turbulence des Fluides). But it is a very excellent movie, even without subtitles. And I've always wondered how James Hyndman would look with hair. (hope that wasn't a spoiler!)

edgy and ensnaring, director beaudin finesses that old story of betrayal and revenge. the characters and their story humanize one facet at a time, in a very believable evolution.

beautiful actors, beautiful soundtrack, beautiful cinema.

this movie is our first jean beaudin. pardon us, we must track down the remainder of his work...

Pascale Bussières is as charming as ever. She is extremely convincing when displaying the anguish and disarray of her character. James Hyndman, despite an irritating and unnatural french accent, delivers a very strong and compassionate performance. I think this is a movie that all young teenagers and adults should see because we often forget or don't realize the consequences of our actions.

From monsters & catalysts, to maternal stalwarts, to kindness conquers all. What can go horribly wrong on the bitter end of unrequited young love is developed in this story. How we can take tragedy & turn it into the biggest lesson ever! How innocent devotion of a very kind young man, cleanses many years of a hellish determination to pay back with the same medicine even when, well, this film is a must! NO spoilers here! I recommend Souvenirs Intimes with NO reservations! Intense drama, ripping emotions, stunning Pascale Bussières in a magnificent performance, excellent cinema, thick with subtext, I wish a lot more people could hear about this one!
