...director has a wonderful gift for setting up these situations which illustrate visually the key themes of the film. Gregoire is an outsider at court, but an insider at the Doctor's country mansion. One scene shows him learning to dance in the doctor's parlor with Mathilde, as young Paul, a deaf-mute of the Doctor's household, mimicks them, dancing alone in the field outside.

Rather than call 911 to rush the 96-year-old woman to the hospital, Bayne asked the ushers to take her to the church parlor. The doctor, who is something of a gadget freak, was equipped for any contingency. Stashed in his black bag--actually a blue-and-gray fishing-tackle box--was a miniaturized version of every diagnostic tool he needed to assess her symptoms, as well as a full supply of standard emergency...
