French film veteran Alain Monne makes his directorial debut with this enjoyable if somewhat high-end TV drama featuring Sophie Marceau as a bed-ridden tetraplegic and her real-life partner Christophe Lambert as a washed-up drunken boxer who comes to her aid in the picturesque Colombian city of Cartagena.
Eminently watchable for Marceau’s expressively-rendered, elegant plight and Lambert’s hang-dog bad-hairdo boozehound, Cartagena may overstay its welcome – it had a modest opening in France recently – but overseas markets may be more warmly receptive to these two French mainstays in a rarely-shot milieu.
Monne has sourced a colourfully decaying colonial Colombia, which he shoots beautifully and credibly, even as the main relationship on screen politely requests a suspension of disbelief.
Marceau plays Muriel, a beautiful, rich French woman who has been confined to bed since an accident in Colombia put an end to her engagement to a French diplomat there. She refuses to return to her homeland. Angry and sharp-tongued she has, we are told, been through at least 40 carers – none male – but somehow ex-boxer Leo catches her eye in an interview during which he drinks the cooking sherry (or soy sauce) and she hires him.
An addict to the point where he gulps down her disinfectant, Leo has no experience as a carer, but he crustily stands up to Muriel’s abuse and soon the couple are forming a close friendship.
Meanwhile, back in the kitchen, nurse Lucia (de Francisco) is on the morphine and Leo’s boxing protégé, the jealous prostitute Lina (Valdes), will do her best to scupper their relationship.
Marceau, making a welcome return to the big screen, looks palely beautiful throughout and is icily effective with limited tools at her disposal. Lambert is appropriately grizzly, growling out his Spanish dialogue as if he’d taken lessons from the Terminator’s delivery of hasta la vista. The two supporting characters, Margarita Rosa de Francisco as a nurse and the feisty Linnet Hernandez Valdes as a tough hooker, make a strong impression.

Is it a good idea to study in China?

  https://www.istudy-china.com/  All of these I'm telling from personal experienc: Check and recheck you are not falling for anyone's hunger for money. Chances are, you are going to a University through an agent (you have to) who might be a fraud and only wanna take you there for money. So be careful. But if you are in good hand, I'll say why China to study in… China universities are craving for international students literally. So you'll get special care. “English” knowing people are treated special there. So you can make your remark easily. As they want more and more international students, you can get involved in student business. By student business I mean, you got to convince other students to go to those universities and you'll profit big I assure you. (Actually I hate this about China and what I talked about on top) Teachers are very helpful Residence rent and other daily necessities are very cheap priced there. So you dont have to spend much. Education is al...
