The Thief

This looks like it would be a good movie. It's written by Marguerite Duras and stars Romy Schneider but it was pretty boring. It's about a woman who decides to get custody of her boy she left at birth. It's busy easy since the family didn't take the time to adopt the boy. But the father has a huge mental breakdown. Romy Schneider is the only good thing about this movie. She gives a good performance as the desperate mother looking for meaning in her life along with her troubled marriage. It was apparently based on a true story. But there's better Romy Schneider movies, better Marguerite Duras movies too. I only recommend watching this movie if you know what you're getting yourself into.
