I was mezzo-mezzo, at best, with Amelie Bonnin‘s Partir Un Jour (Leave One Day), which I saw this morning at 9 am. It’s one of those “going back home and sorting through the past” films. I was there but drifting.
And yet I was seriously and repeatedly struck by a remarkable similarity between the star, Juliette Armanet, best known as a French singer-songwriter, and the late Albert Dieudonne, the star of Abel Gance‘s Napoleon (’27).
They have almost the exact same nose…one of those French honkers you can slice roast beef with.
