This week, the CCE delivers my biggest letdown so far: Ciaran Hinds and Amanda Root, stars of the Persuasion (best Austen adaptation ever), team up again! Time passes, and Suzie auditions for a singing dance troupe heading for Paris. There, she meets an older Russian dancer named Lola ( Cate Blanchett), and they share an apartment as friends. At a formal party, both women perform as dancers alongside a mysterious performing horseman, Cesar ( Johnny Depp), a Romani to whom Suzie is attracted. After their performance outside, they overhear a tenor inside singing "Je Crois Entendre Encore"; the voice belongs to Dante ( John Turturro), an Italian opera singer who immediately catches Lola's eye. Lola works her way into his good graces and falls for his charms, enticed by his wealth and success. Dante, Lola, Suzie, and Cesar all work for an opera company directed by Felix Perlman ( Harry Dean Stanton). Dante is an imperious follower of Mussolini; this alienates him from Suzie even as he becomes Lola's lover. Meanwhile, Cesar introduces Suzie to his "family" (essentially his entire tribe), and they fall in love. He’s like, “I wish you’d stop looking at me like a piece of meat! God, what do you think I am, some kind of man who cheats around? I am MARRIED, okay? Women are disgusting skanks, son, and don’t you ever forget it.” Upon arrival, an English official renames her "Susan" and places her with foster parents. English students at school taunt her by calling her a "gypsy", but she does not yet understand English. A teacher at the school overhears her singing "Je Crois Entendre Encore" in Yiddish, and teaches her to sing and speak in English.

He lives with Adultery Jones for a while (she’s growing herself a bairnsketball!), and Hilda spends most of her time managing the home estate and raising Ciaran’s son, who has turned out very well, loves Hilda immensely, and seems suitably apologetic for having a dad who’s an enormous hooker. Then he meets Hilda, She’s married to an old dude with one foot in the grave and a big farm estate. Here, she looks at him as if to say, “Wow, you look like you have a LOT of diseases.”The Man Who Cried is a 2000 drama film written and directed by Sally Potter, and starring Christina Ricci, Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp, Harry Dean Stanton and John Turturro. The film tells the story of a young Jewish girl who, after being separated from her father in Soviet Russia, grows up in England and moves to Paris as a young adult, shortly before the beginning of World War II. It is the last film worked on by the French cinematographer Sacha Vierny.

Ciaran starts work for the family, counting the days until Mr .Maxwell drops off the twig and he can swoop in and capture the heart of the virginal (and actually virgin, fun fact!) Hilda. War hits England hard, and by war I mean “a single bomb” and by England I mean “Adultery Jones’s house.” She gets trapped in the rubble like a good adulteress should. During the ocean passage the liner is torpedoed, with Lola killed in the sinking. Suzie is among the survivors rescued and brought to New York.One day, Dante is rifling through Suzie's things after a dalliance with Lola in the apartment, and deduces her Jewish heritage after finding her father's photo. An elderly Jewish neighbour downstairs, Madame Goldstein ( Miriam Karlin), also knows that Suzie is Jewish and has warned her of the dangers on the horizon as the Germans invade Poland. The following year, as the Germans invade France and approach Paris, an exodus begins of Jews and other people threatened by Nazism. Crowds for the operatic show dwindle, and eventually the only cast members left are Dante and Suzie. When Dante attempts to seduce Suzie, she rebuffs him. He lashes out at her for her heritage and her relationship with Cesar, whose heritage he also scorns. Perlman comes to her defence; he reminds Dante that as an Italian in Paris at that time, should Mussolini align with the Nazis, Dante's own position in Paris would be precarious. Perlman closes down the show; the Nazis enter Paris the following morning. Fistfights: Largely nonviolent, except for ladies lunging at Ciaran and attempting to climb him like a tree. CIARAN: Since I’m lower class and I don’t want to bother you by having people looking down on you marrying someone lower class, why don’t we just have sex a lot and NOT get married and then I can sleep with your sister on the side without technically being either a bigamist or an adulterer? We meet our hero as he brings his son to the beach to cheat on his wife with this lady. His son is boring, both here and in the SEVEN YEARS LATER part, so you won’t see him here.

Welcome to The Man Who Cried, which is about a good-looking dude (Ciaran Hinds: well cast, casting person) who keeps tripping and falling into ladies, which disgusts him, just disgusts him. Why won’t these women stop getting with him, damn? He spends four hours being emo about how he just wants to be Left Alone with some other woman than the one he’s with at the moment. (Doesn’t matter which woman he’s with; he wants a new one.) The singing voices for the characters of Dante and Suzie were provided by Salvatore Licitra and Iva Bittova, respectively.
