Colette

At a recent event in New York honoring the composers Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe, Caron revealed it was actually her idea to turn the Colette novel, Gigi, into a film.

This Cheri affirms a penchant for faces that appear eerily ageless and a thinness equated with holiness. At the same time it makes women feel bad, for a change, about aging.

It's such a pleasure to watch Michelle Pfeiffer hold the screen in a way she hasn't for far too long that one can almost forgive Cheri its flaws. Almost.

At its core, Chérie is a movie about time and the constancy of change -- a theme that could be esoteric and depressing, were it not for the stunning visual and aural landscape.
