Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLast movie from Claude Sautet, before his death in 2000. He was reportedly so happy by the public and critical reception of the movie that he didn't feel the need to make another one.
- GoofsThe movie title in French is "Nelly et Mr. Arnaud", but even though it's a common mistake, "Mr." isn't short for "Monsieur", it means "Mister". "Monsieur" is written "Mr" without the period.
Featured review
Goddess Beart
I guess the main reason for "Nelly" to be one of the most popular Eruopean movies of the last years is the presence of the Goddess Beart in each and every one of the sequences: her eyes, her mouth, her perfection. Without any make-up, without wonderful dresses... she does not need anything but her natural beauty to make Mr. Arnaud to fall in love her. He hires her as a personal assistant while he's writing his memoirs, but she'll end up being his closest confident. The connection between both of them is neither sexual nor platonic... it's something else. Maybe they're just kindred spirits that meet each other at the wrong time: he knows she's too young and beautiful to stay with him. It doesn't matter if she'd be willing to begin a relationship with Arnaud, 'cause the truth is that he won't let her beauty to fade in the company of an old man which has anything but memories.
This is a sober and reflexive movie, that doesn't live up to its world wide fame (in my opinion); but, as I said before, the presence of Emmanuelle Beart worth watching it.
*My rate: 7/10
