By Carrie Dennett
Emerald Reporter
Green Card is a light, romantic come
dy pairing American rising star Andie
Mac Dowel I and Gerard Depardieu, con
sidured the most acclaimed French actor
of our time.
The film, written specifically for
Depardieu by director Peter Weir, re
volves around the marriage of George
Fauro (Depardieu) and Bronte Parrish
(Mac Dowell).
George is a French composer who
loves America but needs a green card to
be allowed to stay. Bronte is a prim, se
rious horticulturist who needs a hus
band to be considered for a Manhattan
apartment, complete with a greenhouse,
that she needs for her work
The two are matched up by a mutual
friend, marry by way of a quick civil
ceremony, and then go their separate
ways. However, the Immigration and
Naturalization Service is suspicious
about the validity of the marriage, so
Bronte and George are forced to spend
48 hours together learning the details of
each other s lives before they are grilled
separately by the INS.
Naturally, when George arrives at
Bronte's apartment for their crash
course, we see how very different they
are He smokes, she doesn’t. He's pas
sionate. she’s reserved He eats meat.
she eats what he calls "birdseed.” In
the end. no matter how glaring their dif
ferences. the film shows that opposites
do attract.
The film's most humorous moments
come from Bronte's embarrassment over
George, and her failed attempt to keep
him a secret from friends and family.
The film's only real downside is the
suddenness with which they proclaim
their love. It would have been nicer to
have seen a little awkwardness, as two
very different people begin to negotiate
a relationship.
Depardieu has been a star in Europe
since his first film in 1973. At age 42,
he has made over 60 films, most recent
ly of which is a screen version of Cyrano
dtf Bergerac.
Weir was so impressed by Depardieu
after seeing him in Danton that his wife
suggested he adapt a short story he had
written about a green-card marriage into
a script for the actor.
Weir proceeded with the project un
sure of what the outcome might be.
Depardieu was an unknown in the U.S.,
and there was a chance that he might
not even want to do the film.
W'hile waiting for Depardieu's busy
schedule to free up, Weir spent his time
directing Dead Ports Society. A native
Australian. Weir's first directing hit in
the U.S. was I986's Mosquito Coast. He
decided he wanted to return to writing,
and worked on the script for Witness.
but Green C*rd is his first screenwriting
credit since.
