The setting of this French film is very entertaining. Shot on the isle of Corse The Island with its its white craggy heights is completely surrounded by water which makes it all the more a lush location where any girl would be able to reach any heights even with a prior lack of confidence.
Kevin Kline playing Dr. Kroger actually is Helene's mentor and friend. Although there could be better people in French Cinema to play this role, Kevin is merely passable. He played the role of an aging physician who has lost his wife and is slowly losing further interest in this life too. It is now that Helene , a part time house-keeper strikes up an unlikely friendship by asking him to play chess with her.
If you love French Films and even if you don't there is less likelihood that you would want to miss watching the lovely chemistry between two people that has been shown in this movie. If not for anything, merely just for Sandrine's performance in the film.
Watch on DVD
