Summary of Cheri

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.

What a disappointment...
I expected so much more from a Stephen Frears period drama... this movie is mostly boring, nothing really significant happens and the characters are annoying. If it was meant to be some sort of allegory about youth vs. getting old, it really fails...
Likely to see
Not for me
