Tolérance

About This Movie

So, 'Tolérance' is an interesting little gem from 1989 that really leans into its dramatic atmosphere. You’ve got this English hermit who somehow finds himself in France right after the Revolution, which sets the stage for some pretty poignant explorations of isolation and connection. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it really adds to the hermit's sense of dislocation. Those scenes in the chateau, with the Italian nobleman and his wife, create an intriguing dynamic; there's tension in the air that you can almost taste. The performances feel authentic, if not a bit raw, which I really appreciate. Overall, it’s distinctive for how it blends historical context with these personal struggles, making it a standout in the drama genre.
