A disappointing adaptation given the source material and cast and crew attached who have done better work elsewhere. The story of a wealthy Jewish man who has managed to reach the high society of 19th century, only to risk everything for the love of a courtesan. The impressive cast of Jeremy Irons, Alain Delon and Fanny Ardent can't save the project that seems lost in the hands of director Volker Schlondorff. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
