Sarah Bernhardt, la divine

I'm a big fan of costume movies, historical movies .. But this one failed to impress. I fear that it is not my fault, but that of the writer! Just the choice of subjects. The amputation of a leg at a later age. Why should we have any interest in that? Putin might, he likes gruesome things. Then a relationship between two adulterers. Were she behaves very childishly when her playboy finds another playgirl. Involving a lot of screaming and a contemplated suïcide. I don't even like the actress, far to loud for one thing. Where are the beautifull or interesting conversations? Not in this film! The film starts with one of the most boring death scenes I have ever seen. The next twenty minutes have a separate title: the operation. They did spend some effort on costumes and hair styles..That is icing on an empty plate, not cake! A few nice piano pieces, cut as short as her leg. A painful experience. For a woman who knew so many famous people even those endless possibilities for sideshows were neglected. C'est vraiment triste.
