Migrating to love
A moody, magnificently shot, and quite pure vision of the plight of a political immigrant and the similar plight of a forty year old professeur (GB) whom love has evaded. This is so unpretentious, thoughtfully shot, beautifully acted, touching, and so simple, in a way, you wonder why it was not a great success. It had the problem, in legitimate release in the US, to be up against a piece of navel fluff, Green Card, with the ubiquitous Depardieu and some forgettable actress. Now on video from a small company in Sherman Oaks (!) I think.
Bujold has been in a lot of stinkers (not necessarily her fault) but she always is fine, despsite the material. This is, along with Choose Me, just top flight.
