I thoroughly enjoyed this story told from the perspective of a thoughtful, bereaved father played by Philippe Noiret and set in an Irish village. Everyone has a secret apart from the local doctor in his pink taxi, played by Fred Astaire. Ustinov puts in a great turn as the eccentric European with a weird, unhealthily controlling relationship with his daughter/neice/whoever. Charlotte Rampling as the uber rich, princess and sister of a man hiding from his own past (under orders from his family) looks absolutely stunning and turns the sensuality up to 11. Goodness knows how Noiret retains his mild, calm demeanor under those eyes.
