It states 'comic, drama'. I couldn't find anything comical in there.
The setting is perfect, what one would expect from Zola. Acting by Katya Berger ... already difficult to judge. In itself it is naught; as Nana it does fit.
A captivating narration by Zola about the 'fickle women' (Shakespeare). In this sense this movie deserves full marks. It shows a rather emotionless ascent of a woman, rather an adolescent, to what her attraction can get her. In this sense, close to full marks.
On the other hand, if one perceives movie making as having a meaning beyond mere photographing, as analytic process, also displaying inner sentiments, doubts, motivators; this movie is a clear fail. Katya Berger as Nana just swirls around from scene to scene, until - sooner or later - her seemingly never reflected drive for more and more reaches its logic end.
All in all, definitely deserving better than the current 4,4.
