What Colonel Chabert Is About
Chabert was a colonel under Napoleon, left for dead at Eylau and thrown into a mass grave. Years later he walks back into Paris to find his wife remarried, his fortune distributed and his death entered in the record, which leaves him a man obliged to prove that he is himself. Adapted from Balzac's novella, the film treats this not as a story of emotional reunion but as a question of law and property, and that is where its cruelty sits. Gérard Depardieu is Chabert, Fanny Ardant his wife, Fabrice Luchini the lawyer. It was Yves Angelo's first film as a director.
