P.M ‘A La Place Du Coeur France 1997, Robert Guédiguian’, September 1999, Volume 63, Issue 39. p. 21

Review of A La Place Du Coeur (1997) film by Robert Guédiguian, a film adapted from James Baldwin’s If Beale Street Could Talk.

‘Guédiguian makes links between the dispossessed from different cultures that is frankly out of fashion and he believes in his characters’ dignity. Unlike British realist cinema, the film benefits from the area’s sunny climate, which does not in the least depress the audience and has a knock on effect on the characters too.
