Page 32 Mr Morgan’s Last Love
Directed by Sandra Nettelbeck, Mr Morgan’s Last Love is adapted from a novel by Francoise Dorner and stars Michael Caine as Matthew Morgan, a lonely American widower living
in Paris following the death of his wife (Jane Alexander, who appears in visions) three years
previously. When he meets a young French woman (Clemence Poesy as Pauline) on a bus, the pair strike up an unlikely friendship based on the fact that she reminds him of his dead wife and he reminds her of her dead father.
However, despite his new-found friendship with Pauline, Morgan nonetheless attempts suicide, which brings his estranged adult children (Justin Kirk as Miles and Gillian Anderson as Karen) over to Paris to try and persuade him to return to America. However, after Karen returns home, Miles decides to stay in Paris and thrash out some of his issues with his father, with Pauline trying to help as best she can.
Caine reins in his usual twinkly-eyed persona in favour of something a bit gloomier, but it backfires slightly as the part could have used some of that spark; similarly, his American accent is
frequently distractingly bad, particularly when he tries to speak French. However, the supporting cast are excellent: Poesy is charming and likeable without being too cutesy and there’s strong work from Kirk as Miles, while Anderson is so good as Karen that she completely steals the film, making it something of a blow when she disappears after only a handful of scenes, and the film never really recovers.
Despite some strong performances and some intriguing potential, Mr Morgan’s Last Love is ultimately both disappointing and frustrating, as you can feel the film gradually slipping away from the much better version it could have been.
