Chéri
— “Chéri”, directed by Stephen Frears of “The Queen” & “Dangerous Liaisons” fame, is a wonderful period piece starring Michelle Pfeiffer, with scenes based on Colette’s novel unfolding slowly and deliciously. Felt more like a play than a film except for a large number of knowing glances. Both Pfeiffer and Kathy Bates are worth seeing.
