Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Cinephiles will pale at this travesty in which, in a sub-plot, Georges Méliès is depicted as the father not of cinematic fantasy but of cinematic pornography, the Zalman King of the belle époque. Predictably, this being a Cannon production, Nana's trail of sexual devastation across Parisian high society is given no social or moral dimension, but serves merely as framework for tepid erotica. Several talented artists are involved, the director emphatically not among their number.
