Format:DVD
I watched this movie and re-learned a lot about customs of gone by years in France where morality was categorized differently than most places now. Courtisans were an expected and wealthy breed of woman and everyone knew who and what they were. These woman chose to be kept by a wealthy gentleman for whatever his purpose with full knowledge that she was provided for with the most lavish luxuries available.
The movie with a "very handsome" Young "Colin Firth" fell in love with a country girl just as she first arrived in the streets of Paris having run away from a miserable country life; she wanted the lavish life style which she got. He sees this country girl when she arrives in Paris and there is instant attraction.
As a sickly young woman "Consumptive" she finds her best avenue for a meal is an unscrupulous artist who takes her as a lover and paints her on canvas. A wealthy man buys the painting aquiring her in the bargain. Our hero meets her again and the attraction is so strong that she decides to leave her life style. Things do not go quite as she planned and "our hero" leaves her over a disagreement for some time; only to return as she lay on her death bed. He finds her before she dies and spends the rest of his life visiting her grave on the anniversary of her death. He is well off as an educated man but we know nothing of his life after her death or even before they parted when the couple went separate ways bitterly. The local gossip monger sends him to her death bed. ...The story is a bitter sweet one but for the true romantic it is a feast for the eyes on the time period settings, clothing and custom of every rommantic ideal that has ever floated out of Paris France and its lovely countryside as it must have offered. This is a movie for Romantics but being filmed so long ago a little to narrated by the hero "Colin Firth's", best friend from University and the gossiping retired Courtisan who urged him to go see her before she died. ... The movie was nice but seeing how Handsome Colin Firth was as a younger man was my joy in the whole movie. I watched it to see him as a fan and the movie ran well but the end a bit of a let down. However, not to the point of never watching it again. It is a bit more complicated then my opinion I admit but possibly a second viewing could only enhance my opinion of "Camille".

1.0 out of 5 stars Un anglais à Paris April 28 2013
By Scarlet
Format:DVD
Malheureusement, tout dans ce film sonne faux. Colin Firth en est à ses premières armes et il n'est pas très convainquant. Cette histoire d'amour magnifique nous laisse sans larmes. Il est impossible de croire à ce destin tragique car il est impossible d'oublier qu'il s'agit de "British" qui jouent les parisiens.

3.0 out of 5 stars Better Colin Firth Movies Available Jan 11 2011
By KN - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Compared to other Colin Firth movies, this movie was very flat. I love period movies, and comparing to the likes of Jane Austin, this one pales in comparison. I had higher hopes for this film so was disappointed when I finished watching it.
The character of Camille was not well formed. She gave a sub-par performance. Firth seemed stilted and robotic at times.
The story line was a good one, and the potential for it being much more fleshed out would have made it much more endearing. So, it left me feeling like I wasted 100 minutes of my day.
So, chalk it up to one not so hot purchase.
I'll loan it to my daughter, with whom I LOVE to watch movies like this, but with a forwarning not to expect too much.
I would recommend saving the $$$ and watching Pride and Prejudice again!

2.0 out of 5 stars Made for TV Movie Feb 2 2011
By Kadie - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I tried to find information on this movie prior to purchasing the DVD but didn't find much. This is a 'made for TV movie' which means the budget wasn't that great and it shows. I purchased it for the great cast but even they could not elevate the quality of the production.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Love story Dec 5 2010
By propdevel - Published on Amazon.com
Format:DVD
Beautiful love storey with Greta Scacchi and Colin Firth. They work beautifully together and the film is a delight to watch. Its a simple story yet tragic...

Great to see an very under valued Greta Scacchi work as she is a class actress.
