Minha Secretária
Nelly et Monsieur Arnaud
França, 1995
Dir.: Claude Sautet
"Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud, in the fullest meaning of the adjective an adult film about adult people, made with unobtrusive assurance by a director who knows the dilemmas that adulthood and aging entail. It is marked by clarity and an economy of style: nothing is ever wasted, nothing ever without its point. (...) The dignity and humanity with which Sautet invests his characters is fully realised in and through his cast's flawless performances. The phrase hovers on the edge of cliché but it is apt nonetheless: the ensemble is not so much composed of actors as the inhabitants of their roles. From Michel Serrault, Emmanuelle Béart, Claire Nadeau and Jean-Hugues Anglade through the middle-ranks - Françoise Brion, Charles Berling and Jean-Pierre Lorit - to such jewel-like cameos as Michele Laroque's Isabelle, Michel Lonsdale's shadowy Dolabella and Janine Souchon's Madeleine, Pierre Arnaud's housekeeper, we are in the company of finely drawn, richly-faceted, three-dimensional people, sophisticated denizens of the class and city Sautet knew so well. To say it again, Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud is a beautiful film." John C. Murray
