Reviews:
"...A big, splashy role for the regal [Adjani]....Chéreau creates an atmosphere in which his actors' flamboyance can be entertaining..." - 12/09/1994 New York Times, p.C10


"...Mesmerizing....History has rarely been so gorgeously, electrically, sensously portrayed..." -- Rating: A - 01/27/1995 Entertainment Weekly, pp.32-3


"...Rich and full of verve....Adjani still burns a hole in the screen..." - 12/14/1994 Los Angeles Times, p.F2


"...Adjani, rapturously photographed by Philippe Rousselot, combines Lillian Gish's silent-screen inner strength with sex bomb packaging..." - 06/16/1995 USA Today, p.16D
