Emmanuelle Béart films

"There is a shy recessive quality to Emmanuelle Béart's acting.
The camera likes this quality - It pursues her, so to speak."

Synopsis: Daniel Auteuil (Manon of the Spring ) plays Stephane, the curiously diffident co-owner of an exclusive violin brokerage and repair shop. A brilliant technician, Stephane can make any instrument live up to its promise, yet he is emotionally remote himself, disconnected from passionate experience. His partner, Maxime (André Dussollier), lacks Stephane's gifts but is rich in personality and desire. When Maxime's new lover, a violinist named Camille (Emmanuelle Béart), is drawn to Stephane's still waters, the latter is briefly moved, thus destroying the fragile, symbiotic relationship between all three individuals. Veteran French filmmaker Claude Sautet (of the Oscar-winning César et Rosalie ) has made a powerful film here expressed in the smallest of gestures, just as one might tune the strings of a violin ever-so-slightly to achieve perfection. Sautet indeed employs such a sonorous motif in this story, in which violins always seem to be playing and suggesting that the principal characters look at life as they do music: something to be tinkered with and manipulated for effect.
-- Tom Keogh

"A story of an unrequited love and a seduction taken so far it becomes unbearable and finally dangerous."

Synopsis: Less a sequel than a seamless continuation of its predecessor, Jean de Florette, Manon of the Spring brings with it a more epic scope as it depicts the growth to womanhood of the daughter (Emmanuelle Béart) of the doomed farmer of the first film. As the beautiful, free-spirited young shepherdess discovers the truth about her father's demise at the hands of their scheming neighbor (Yves Montand), who took the land for himself, she vows revenge, realizing that the neighbor's deeds have irrevocably shaped the course of her life. Her moves toward avenging her father provide an ironic twist to this harsh and thought-provoking saga, and French director Claude Berri perfectly illustrates the lasting consequences of deceit, greed, and revenge. Manon of the Spring is a very special foreign film choice, destined to be revered for years to come.
-- Robert Lane

"... lushly filmed French period piece ...much-loved by fans of character-driven, languorously paced foreign dramas."

"Béart is an actress of such extraordinary beauty that at anytime
she falls in movie love she seems like a goddess slumming.
Her radiant face is therapeutic. A glance from her
should thaw the frostiest heart."
- Time Magazine, 1993.
