À propos de ce film

Indulge in Cheri, the seductive and provacative drama about a scandalous love affair, set during the opulent decadence of pre- World War I Paris starring award winners Michelle Pfeiffer and Kathy Bates. The ravishing Lea (Pfeiffer), famed courtesan to the rich and famous, is contemplating her retirement, when her archrival (Bates) asks her to teach her spoiled nineteen-year-old son Cheri about women. It's an adventure that becomes a heated and passionate affair that results in power struggles over sex, money, age, and society- and unexpectedly, love itself- as a boy who refuses to grow up collides with a woman who realizes she cannot stay young forever.

Notes et avis

I love Michelle Pfeiffer in anything she does, I hunted this movie down when I heard she did a period film. I feel that they should have casted Robert Pattinson as the male lead. Was about the same time "Bel Ami" came up, a good way to show his talent post "Twilight" and be in the same cougar genre. I really liked the ending, no one wins, very Asian-storytelling sentiment.

Rupert Friend was a terrible actor to play this part. I find his only mood in any role is miserable, even when he's trying to portray happy. The rest of the cast was wonderful. I wish they spent more time on the story.

Something about this movie..I don't know what it is but I LOVE IT..every time I watch it, I love it again..maybe it's the combination of michelle pffefer and Stephen frears..I don't know but it's definitley worth the watch
