What critics compared Queen Margot to
But, though all his films are interesting, especially his spectacular adaptation of Dumas' "Queen Margot," it's in his last two films this one and "Those Who Love Me Can Take the Train" that he's become supremely confident as a filmmaker.
Based on stories by Hanif Kureishi ("My Beautiful Laundrette," "Sammy and Rosie Get Laid") and directed by Frenchman Patrice Ch�reau ("Queen Margot"; this is his first English-language film), "Intimacy" is an earnest but ultimately pretentious production.
In "Intimacy," the English-language debut of French filmmaker Patrice Chereau ("Queen Margot"), Jay and Claire are exquisitely played by Mark Rylance ("Angels and Insects") and Kerry Fox ("Angel at My Table").
Cineast Factor: Director Patrice Chéreau made Queen Margot and the amazing Those Who Love Me Can Take the Train.
