Title: Regrets
Review: I am very sorry that I failed to understand that this film has been dubbed. I find it impossible to watch. (Or rather, I might watch it with the sound turned off; visually it is not disappointing.) I suspect that the voice which is matched to Depardieu/Balzac belongs to a man at least ten years (or more?) younger than D/B, and it grates--like fingernails on the blackboard. Whoever the voice belongs to, I find it impossible to believe that he is either French, or aEuropean, or a writer. The other voices are equally unimpressive. I am told that the Czechs have a great tradition of actors who dub. Apparently no such tradition exists in the United States. (I see now that a previous reviewer had complained about the dubbing--once again, I can only say that this purchase was made too hastily.)
Is the review positive or negative?
