A cold but beautiful film The chill in "Un Coeur En Hiver" is absolute, and it's necessary. The title means "The Heart In Winter," and the phrase would apply to Daniel Auteuil's emotionally distant violin restorer, who's very remoteness captures the heart of a passionate violinist, played brilliantly by Emmanuelle Beart in a performance unfortunately overlooked by the Academy. A film about how we try to fill our lives with beauty, and how hard beauty is to hold onto. Not an easy film to love(Auteuil's given an almost impossible character to play, but he manages), but an easy one to admire.
