Actor-turned-director Vincent Perez makes a fine debut with Peau D'Ange. Here Angele (Morgane More), an impoverished virgin working as a maid, falls in love with Gregoire (Guillaume Depardieu), a young man just in town for his mother's funeral. The two wind up in bed, and the next day Gregoire leaves for a successful life working at a big-city drug company. He even marries the boss' daughter. The unaware Angele pursues him and winds up in prison growing flowers. Sweet with a strain of spirituality and uplifting pathos, this one might also garner some U.S. fans.
