My Grading System

A+ = Masterpiece (I hold back on this one.) / A = Great. / A- = Really Good. / B+ = Good. / B = Decent (Serviceable). / B- = Flawed but okay (For those times there's something redeeming about the work). / C+ = Not very good (Skip it). C = Bad. / C- = Awful. / F = Complete Disaster (I hold back on this one too).

Note on Spoilers: I will try to avoid ruining a story by going into too much detail. But if I wish to include some revealing points to my analysis I will try to remember to add a separate spoiler paragraph.

Indochine (1992)

A sweeping epic that takes place when the French occupied Indo-China; the ever beautiful Catherine Deneuve plays the owner of a rubber plantation who adopts a young Chinese girl when her parents die.   All is well until both fall in love with a young sailor played with intensity by Vincent Perez.  Grand, classical film making that has a timeless production design.  Grade: A.
