Talk:Justine (1969 film)

Reviews
The article is without any quotes from any reviews at the time of release or closer to the present day with any media presentation.

It was released 1969 and carried the cultural freight of being based on the four intensely wide-read novels of Lawrence Durrell. However the movie bore literary source comparison with Christopher Isherwood's I am a Camera with it's fabled heroine Sally Bowles. A viewing of the film invites the casual, dismissive something to say that "It has everything in it except Robert Helpmann!"

The film failed mainly that Anouk Aimée did not have the knowledgeable star power. And the recently departed Anna Karena's inner insecurities revealed her be-devilled soul that perhaps might have been more fit for John Huston's elaborate nonsense Beat the Devil.

These observations are offered to invite the creators of the page to see how difficult it was for reviewers to know which angle to look at the film. --Laurencebeck (talk) 07:47, 16 December 2019 (UTC)
