The degeneration by alcohol
François Perier as the alcoholic Henri Coupeau is unsurpassed as sick man having his overdose and delirium by alcohol. Maria Shell as Gervaise is convincing as the poor woman working day and night for the drunken men she is having in her home and her little daughter! This movie should be shown to all people having drinking problems. As it is set in a different period (the end of the second Emperor Napoleon’s reign) is has something universal. The general atmosphere of this epoch is however very accurate.
Futile
Mediocre scenario, poor dialogues, banal music (still Auric) : nothing to be saved in this film. In the end, a cucuterie. Watch rather Maria Schell with Marcello Mastroianni in “White Nights” !
