Melodrama of forbidden love is mishmash of styles
“Marguerite & Julien” uses the theme of forbidden love between siblings and is based on a true story that took place in 17th-century France. Director Valerie Donzelli moves the time period to an unspecific blend of the 19th and 20th centuries, judging by the fashions. When Marguerite (Anais Demoustier) and Julien de Ravalet (Jeremie Elkaim) are reunited as adults, their childhood affection blossoms into carnal passion and the lovers escape into the woods to live as a couple, far from the moral judgments of society. Though the premise lends itself to thoughtful drama and sympathetic performances, the movie can’t shake a consistently icky feel.<br /><br />It’s tough to elicit sympathy for incest, however charming or attractive the leads may be. The script portrays the lead characters as naive, probably so we make allowances for unwise youth, but it never rings true. Though good-looking, Demoustier and Ekaim are wooden, partially due to bland dialogue and a male lead who looks far older than the character he is portraying. This succeeds in alienating the viewer, who is already put off by the notion of sex between siblings.<br /><br />Apart from script problems, the movie is a mishmash of cinematic showiness that takes the viewer out of the action and draws awareness to the filmmaking process. Visual compositions are sloppy, anachronistic rock ’n’ roll music blares from the soundtrack, editing choices are awkward, production design is uninspired, and overall the film looks like it was made quickly on the cheap. There is also an unrelieved aura of oppressive solemnity in a movie that could definitely stand a bit of levity. The film was originally an early 1970s project planned for Francois Truffaut, who went on to direct “Day For Night” instead.<br /><br />The only special feature on the unrated widescreen DVD is a theatrical trailer. The film is in French. English and Spanish subtitles are available options.

Here is a brief synopsis of the title : Forbidden passion blazes between a brother and sister in this sexually delirious, rock n roll romance. Working from a script originally written for François Truffaut, boundary-pushing director Valérie Donzelli spins a deliciously dark adult fairy tale in which the relationship between aristocratic siblings Marguerite (Anais Demoustier) and Julien (Jeremie Elkaim) goes from playfully flirtatious to passionately erotic an affair that tests the limits of what society will accept. A provocative fable about what we re willing to risk for love, Marguerite & Julien is a one-of-a-kind romance that transcends time, reason, and moral boundaries..
