Customer Reviews of La Nuit de Varennes
The memories of the flesh! The night of Varennes is a haunting and reflective portrait about a supposedly event concerning to the autumnal stage of Casanova' s memories lived and narrated by himself surrounded of avid people, wishful to know about his past adventures.<
><
>This is essentially a poetic film, supported by a very imaginative script and also an enviable cast, starred by the unforgettable Marcello Mastroianni and the divine actress Hanna Schygulla (The marriage of Maria Braun). The initial shot focuses about a picture that slowly begins to dissolve before our profane eyes, tinged of magisterial beauty.<
><
>Ettora Schola was undoubtedly an outstanding director, who decided to risk himself with this haunting story and won for the posterity, since in my opinion the film increases and enhances itself through the years. <
><
>If you are seeking for a very distinguished picture for your personal collection and simultaneously to enjoy the art-cinema, go for this expressive, lovable and adorable masterpiece. <

>What will they be waiting for to release on DVD format?
Must come out on DVD
It's a shame that this wonderful film is out of print (going at the moment for $99.00 used!) and that it is not yet out on DVD, even in France or the UK. One can only hope it will eventually be released on DVD.
Primer on the French Revolution
This movie has as its base the improbable scenario of a public coach on the same route and about two hours behind Louis XVI as he flees Paris. In the Coach is Thomas Paine (Harvey Keitel), Retif de la Bretonne, a lady in waiting, a rich industrialist, a middle class woman, young jacobin, etc. During the course of the journey the passangers get to know each other and discuss the events of the day and the revolution in general each with a particular point of view. It is extremely well done with very authentic detail in costuming and accoutrements.
Where the people are historic they are in character and in some instances are made to say quotes that have been attributed to them. (...)
