Marguerite

Hosted by Joe Morgenstern Mar. 11, 2016 Hollywood
Like lots of movies these days, Marguerite tells us that "it was inspired by a true story." That usually means the story's truth was buried beneath layers of rubbish. But the key word here is "inspired" -- the film is a wonderfully imaginative work of fiction.

The beauty of the film is its shimmering ambiguity. What is it that drives Marguerite to such flights of extravagant folly? What does she hear when she sings so hideously?
