...Soviet-trained pair. Now that state-sponsored training has undergone a meltdown in their homeland, there is a question whether this latest pampered pair will be the last of the line for a long time to come. For the honor of runner-up, only Canada's Isabelle Brasseur and Lloyd Eisler could have wrested the silver from the Unified Team's Elena Bechke and Denis Petrov. But two falls by Brasseur dashed their hopes...
...give everyone a new set of problems to think about, and the novelty is welcome. Josepha lacks the melodrama of many of the recent films about divorce, but that adds to its truthfulness. It is also well played by all three members of its likable triangle (Miou-Miou, Claude Brasseur, Bruno Cremer), and it is full of small, smart observations about men, women, life and the theatrical calling.

Then the star settled down to read a batch of congratulatory telegrams. Among them was a sign of a hard-working actress's lot: telegraphed greetings from her children, Christian...
...acting; as much about a liberal respect for individual nature as it is about anything. Made in garages and abandoned sets in occupied France (several cast members were in the Resistance), the film's atmosphere is sumptious, yet vital. With Jean-Louis Barrault as the mime Baptiste Debureau, Pierre Brasseur as the actor Frederick Lemaitre. Marcel Herrand is the philosophic killer Lacenaire (and for anyone who looks closely, the moral heart of the film), and Arietty is the love they all pursue...
