YesAsia Editorial Description
Stephen Frears, director of THE QUEEN and HIGH FIDELITY, continues to demonstrate his genre-defying talent with this adaptation of a Colette novel. Set in Paris in the years before World War I, CHERI paints a picture of the romance between young Chéri (Rupert Friend) and retired courtesan Léa (Michelle Pfeiffer). Chéri’s mother (Kathy Bates), a rival of Léa, plots to separate the pair by arranging a marriage between her son and Edmée (Felicity Jones). Screenwriter Christopher Hampton previously collaborated with the director on DANGEROUS LIAISONS.
4 stars out of 5 -- "[The film] works with all the joie de vivre and effervescent bubbles of vintage champagne....Hampton's lines, many of which come directly from Colette, are a joy to hear -- barbed and acerbic witticisms that speak volumes..." - Richard, Mowe (Box Office Critic), Box Office, 02/27/2009
"This is a deft, clever adaptation by director Stephen Frears and screenwriter Christopher Hampton of Colette's CHERI novellas, with a commanding star turn by Michelle Pfeiffer..." - Phillip, Lopate (Film Comment Critic), Film Comment, 05/01/2009
"As they did with LIAISONS, Frears and Hampton have a ball with their sources scandalous boudoir politics..." - Zinat S. (Movieline Critic), Movieline, 06/23/2009
3.5 stars out of 4 -- "It is fascinating to observe how Pfeiffer controls her face and voice during times of painful hurt....The cinematography by Darius Khondji and costumes by Consolata Boyce are meticulous in evoking decadence." - Roger, Ebert (Critic and screenwriter), Chicago Sun-Times, 06/24/2009
"[Pfeiffer delivers a] languorously nuanced performance as a striking beauty....The film is a sumptuous, handsome portrait of a woman poised fearfully on the brink of decline, yet too proud to grab at rescue." - Tasha, Robinson (A.V. Club Critic), A.V. Club, 06/25/2009
"As shot by the expert Darius Khondji, CHERI makes the most of its real-life French locations and settings....Pfeiffer and Friend also have excellent on-screen chemistry." - Kenneth, Turan (Los Angeles Times Critic), Los Angeles Times, 06/26/2009
3 stars out of 5 -- "With Pfeiffer, 50, radiating uncommon beauty, grace and feeling, Frears uncovers a fragile story's grieving heart." - Peter, Travers (Rolling Stone Critic), Rolling Stone, 07/09/2009
"[T]his November-May romance is set in an elegant Paris during the turn of the last century. The distinctive costumes and ornate belle epoque furnishings are a sumptuous sight." - Claudia, Puig (USA TODAY CRITIC), USA Today, 06/26/2009
3 stars out of 5 -- "Michelle Pfeiffer teases sly pleasures from her [character]....She's sharper than a hairpin." - Total Film Staff (Total Film Critic), Total Film, 10/01/2009
