Fans of the testudinate pace and art-house vibe of writer-director Sally Potter's other works (Orlando, The Tango Lesson) will likely enjoy The Man Who Cried. Fegele (Christina Ricci) is a Russian Jew separated from her father as a child. Raised as "Susie" by an English family, she makes her way to Paris, where although the city's multiculturalism is vibrant, the Nazis are already on the rise and the secret of her origin becomes increasingly dangerous. The cast of The Man Who Cried is excellent; Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp, John Turturro, and Harry Dean Stanton all do fine jobs in what could have easily degenerated into an accentfest. Depp and Ricci do very well with minimal dialogue--both go through the entire movie almost without speaking. The film moves at a leisurely pace and is beautifully shot. Not a film to show to a roomful of action movie fans, but it's well suited to people who like their films a little more European in flavor. --Ali Davis

She meets Lola (Cate Blanchett) and the two girls decide to room together. They are friends, though watching them is like looking at night and day. Performing in the theater where they work is opera singer Dante Dominio (John Turturro), with a beautiful voice and a considerable ego. Lola takes up with Dante, much to Suzie's dismay, about the same time Suzie becomes interested in the gypsies that perform along with the theater.
Enter Cesar (Johnny Depp), who plays roles in the theater's performances with his gorgeous white horse. Suzie is drawn to him, the feeling very clear that it is not just Cesar's smoldering good looks but a sense of affinity with him that calls to her, both of them being outcasts in some way. What follows are a couple of 'Hello Vicar' sensually passionate scenes between Ricci and Depp (Yowza!) as they find love with each other.
But pre-war France was a dangerous place for Jews, and when the jealous Dante exposes Suzie, which infuriates the gold-digging Lola enough to leave him, Suzie must say goodbye to Cesar and travel on to America to try and find her father.
'The Man Who Cried' is a very pretty movie, not deep in plot but visually moving, truly a piece of cinematic eye-candy. The photography and the brilliant acting by Ricci, Depp, Blanchett, and Turturro carry this movie all the way to five stars. The soundtrack to the movie is wonderful, with some very moving operatic pieces that enhance the overall feel of the film. Taking its place as a sleepy, dramatic movie with no real action, 'The Man Who Cried' still made a powerful impact on me, though I don't usually pick up movies of this genre. Yes, it's that good, definitely a 'buy to own' rather than 'rent' DVD. Enjoy!
The only thing I didn't like about this movie was the ending. The second it ended, it was like I was thrown into shock. Not one for abrupt endings unless the film warrants it. This one did not. But don't let it stop you from seeing this movie. Really holds your attention. I'm so glad I bought it.

Ein ruhiger und zum Teil nachdenklicher, melancholischer Film.
Für Johnny Depp Fans ein muss, meiner meinung nach.
L'action se déroule en 4 parties s'étendant sur 13 ans de 1927 à 1940 et retrace la vie de Fegele, jeune enfant juive qui fuit l'URSS en 1930 avec deux membres de sa famille suite à un pogrom antisémite (son père est déjà parti en "éclaireur" en Amérique), se retrouve en Grande Bretagne où elle reçoit le prénom de Suzan (Suzie) et est placée en famille d'accueil, est engagée en 1939 dans une troupe de danseuses et de chanteuses de music-hall avec laquelle elle se rend en France où elle vit durant un an en compagnie de Lola (russe émigrée) et parvient enfin à s'embarquer pour les Etats-Unis pour rejoindre son père.
Ce film est le premier, à ma connaissance à réunir juifs et tziganes, deux catégories de population traquées et exterminées par les nazis).
En seulement 1h30 la réalisatrice parvient à relater 13 années de cette période douloureuse de l'Histoire contemporaine sans jamais perdre le fil et s'éparpiller en détails et péripéties inutiles. Chaque séquence a un sens et sa raison d'être. Les images sont de toute beauté et les quatre parties de la vie de Suzie sont rattachées par la superbe romance de Nadir (notamment chantée en yiddish) tirée des "Pêcheurs de Perles" de Georges Bizet.
Quant aux interprètes ils sont tous excellents et jouent tous leur partition sans jamais tenter de tirer la couverture à eux. Christina Ricci, Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp, John Turturro, Oleg Yankovski donnent le meilleur d'eux-mêmes et sont pour beaucoup dans la réussite totale de ce film qu'il est indispensable de découvrir.
