Film Gecko Giveaway: Cheri with Michelle Pfeiffer, Rupert Friend
October 19, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Sometimes a little film comes along that grabs your emotions and won’t let go. Such is the case for “Cheri,” a period film with some of the best period actors around.
It takes place in the decadent world of Paris at the dawn of the 20th century. Michelle Pfeiffer plays Lea, a legendary courtesan who agrees to undertake the romantic education of Chéri (Rupert Friend), the 19-year-old son of a former rival (Kathy Bates).
Lea is 30 years older than Chéri and the former lover of some of France’s wealthiest and most powerful men. The last thing she expects is to fall in love with her student. The romance consumes them both and plunges them into struggles over sex, money, age and status.
It’s a lovely film (though darker than the trailer lets on), with heartfelt performances by Pfeiffer and Friend. Directed by Stephen Frears, it’s rated R for some sexual content and brief drug use. The DVD hits store and cyber shelves on Oct. 20, 2009. Bonus features including deleted scenes and a making-of featurette.
THE GIVEAWAY: I have five (5) DVDs of “Cheri” to give away.
