I thoroughly enjoyed this classy film. Cate Blanchett once again shows her stunning versatility in this role. There are many tense moments in the film and you'll be enchanted by the romance that blooms in this hostile but beautiful backdrop of France.
Iwas surprised not have heard of this movie, and was even more surprised that it was not recognized by critics and movie goers alike.
The way the story unfolds seems erratic and non-uniform, but what can one expect from such a complex storyline in only 2 or so hours? Kate was remarkable in this film and so too was Billy Crudup. It's easy to see past any minor wardrobe flaws or any weaknesses in the unfolding of the plot, as the main focuses are the emotional and symbolic components, which were done well!
An unconventinal love story, "Charlotte Gray" shows the struggles of ordinary people amidst dire circumstances. Setting love aside to fulfill what she felt were her obligations in the war, she discovers that it was in fact love that lead her to accept her role in the french communist resistance.
While searching for her lost love, she becomes attached to the characters in her 1945 French village and unwittingly ignites a new and unexpected flame. Charlotte soon finds her true nature; revealed in the challenges and struggles that she faces. In the end, the film leads into Charlotte making a seemingly unexpected choice....
