	THE MAN WHO CRIED
		Set in 1927, Cried opens in a Russian shtetl that is full of thin guys with beards, thick-ankled women with babushkas, and kids who look normal but will evolve into one of these two kinds of adults.
		But shortly after he leaves, the shtetl is burned to the ground, and the wide-eyed Fegele is smuggled into England with only a photograph of her dad and a couple of coins sewed into her dress.
		Cried flashes forward about 10 years, when an older Suzie (a slimmed-down Christina Ricci, Sleepy Hollow) hightails it away from the parents to whom she apparently never developed any kind of attachment and heads for Paris, where she becomes a dancer in a theatre company owned by Felix Perlman (Harry Dean Stanton, The Green Mile).

	The Man Who Cried (2000)
		I had been avoiding The Man Who Cried for years because the video box reveals only that it will be about theater people in France, and that appeals to me about as much as a subtitled film about carney freaks.
		The Man Who Cried begins in Russia, where a young girl enjoys an idyllic childhood with her loving father in spite of the political instability and ecomonic depression that frames their lives.
		Ultimately, the advice of the man who cried is the one thing that will both preserve and make sense of Susan's life, if she survives to see it through.

	SPLICEDwire \| "The Man Who Cried" review (2001)
		An erratically emotional saga of a young Russian refugee's sidetracked search for her father, Sally Potter's "The Man Who Cried" presents such a haunting and moving first act that the balance of the story seems steadily to decline.
		An irritating impediment of "The Man Who Cried" is that the romance and the drama often seem insincere and overwrought because of Potter's chimerical cinematic techniques.
		Potter's grip on the film's narrative is a bit slippery, and she's too enamoured of showy irony, like the scene in which Turturro's thunderous opera performance is juxtaposed with a vague scene of soldiers routing the encampment of Cesar's gypsy family.

		Sally Potter's gift for the drama-laden visual is evident from the start of The Man Who Cried, with its main title shot of a woman drowning in a sea engulfed by flame.
		It is all seen from the viewpoint of Suzie, who observes those around her with a quiet canniness, born of her constant position as powerless outsider.
		Failed though it may be as serious fare, The Man Who Cried remains a guilty pleasure.

		But the focus of her attention is a mysterious horseman (Johnny Depp, laying it on thick) who brings Suzie to grips with her past even as the cost of being a Jew in Paris continues to rise.
		Light on plot and heavy on doe-eyed glances and musical crescendos, The Man Who Cried is dopey beyond belief, as if it were composed entirely of the 30 seconds before and after soap-opera commercial breaks.
		Exactly what Potter thought she was doing is open to debate (should you be interested in engaging such questions), but the film’s overwhelming sappiness is not.

	The Man Who Cried Movie: The Man Who Cried DVD is available from Bestprices.com
		Writer/Director Sally Potter's ambitious historic romance THE MAN WHO CRIED is an epic war drama laced with moral parable and bolstered by lush sets and costumes.
		The story begins familiarly enough--a young Russian Jewish girl is displaced just before World War II and separated from her family--but Potter has woven around the character of Suzie (Christina Ricci) a labyrinth of color, dance, ethnic music, and culture that transcends a typical or cliched war-time drama.
		In particular, there is Suzie, who was raised in a proper English household after fleeing her homeland.

	The Man Who Cried
		Like Pearl Harbor, The Man Who Cried doesn't strive earnestly for historical veracity as Potter finds resourcefulness in her ability to convey passion from music and visuals as she works elegantly with her production designer.
		Yet in doing so, she inadvertently displaces her disparate characters who brood with feelings resolve, ego, trust, and selflessness as the ranging, detailed scoring is transposed with a handsome solitude.
		Suzie, who is far from having the personality of Sally Bowles, becomes enamored with Depp's subdued passionate Cesar, the opera's equestrian, as the actor exudes the qualities recently seen in Chocolat with little dialogue like Ricci.

		Now here is "The Man Who Cried," about a little Jewish girl from Russia who becomes a little British girl and then a Parisian dancing girl, and then a wartime refugee, and finally, once again, her father's daughter.
		"The Man Who Cried" is like an arthouse companion to "Moulin Rouge." Dante is a character basking in his own glory, an ego with a voice, less an artist than a man who knows which way the wind is blowing.
		No doubt she grew old and became one of those strange women I would sometimes meet up in the Hollywood Hills, when David Bradley threw his dinner parties for the survivors of the silent era, or at Telluride, where they were the widows of legendary emigres.

	Man Who Cried, The (2001): Reviews
		A girl whose name and language are taken away, who loses everything and everyone she loves and is driven into silence, nevertheless finds a singing voice and finally manages to find her long lost father.
		The Man Who Cried is like a Yiddish generational tearjerker told from the perspective of the lost child rather than that of the bereaved parent.
		Sally Potter, who leapt to critical attention with her 1992 adaptation of Virginia Woolf's "Orlando" -- makes a serious misstep with The Man Who Cried.

		Sally Potter's The Man Who Cried, like her acclaimed Orlando before it, is an ambitious exploration of identity, richly intoxicated with the sensual possibilities of cinema.
		Set in 1927, this is the story of a young Jewish girl who was sent from Russia to England where she was adopted by a family who re-named her Suzie.
		This a beautifully crafted film that tells the story of a Jewish young girl (Christina Ricci) who is sent to England when she is six and adopted by an English family who re-name her suzie.

	The Man Who Cried (2001)
		Now, she's back with another original story, The Man Who Cried, a drama with serious intentions that is sandbagged by cardboard characters, trite dialogue, and the disastrous miscasting of Christina Ricci in the film's central role.
		Fegele is the daughter of a Jewish cantor in a small Russian village, whose life is upended twice: first when her cherished Papa migrates to America, leaving his family behind, then when a pogrom destroys the village.
		After The Tango Lesson and The Man Who Cried, it is evident that greatness won't be pouring out of her own pen.

	The Man Who Cried
		Written and directed by Sally Potter ("Orlando, "The Tango Lesson), "The Man Who Cried" is an odd amalgamation of film making - good performances amidst lackluster and over the top, on location filming mixed with obviously artificial set pieces, and a weirdly titled tale that, while nothing new, somehow remains engaging.
		Visually, "The Man Who Cried" is often stunning, featuring slow-mo closeups of Suzie, costumed for an ornate outdoor tableau, or Cesar performing stunts on horseback through the nighttime streets of Paris.
		A shot of young Suzie stubbornly clutching the heavily framed portrait of her father (it's almost as big as she is) while terror reigns around her is haunting.

	The Man Who Cried
		There are two men who ultimately cry in The Man Who Cried, and maybe it is because they were watching the movie they are in.
		Suzie is too bland and uninteresting for Ricci, who seems content to stare wistfully for much of the movie.
		Music is a central element to The Man Who Cried, and Turturro valiantly lip-syncs his way from song to song.

	The Man Who Cried - Cranky Critic® Movie Reviews
		We mention this bit of personal trivia because the first location seen in Sally Potter's The Man Who Cried is identified, very quickly and very much in passing, as Borisov.
		The timeframe is 1927 and there are still a smattering of Jews left in this shtetl suburb, if you will, of Minsk, but not enough for the men of the town to provide for their families.
		Wherever she goes, the picture of daddy goes with her, but that's about the extent of her attempts to track the man down.

	Metroactive Movies \| 'The Man Who Cried'
		One lesson to be drawn immediately from The Man Who Cried is that a movie full of alt-film royalty (Johnny Depp, Christina Ricci, Cate Blanchett and John Turturro) that arrives here unheralded should be a warning to the wise.
		But Ricci is playing a morose Englishwoman, described as "a watcher." Mostly what she watches, disapprovingly, is the love life of Lola, who eventually has to vamp some German occupiers in order to survive.
		The Man Who Cried (R; 102 min.), directed and written by Sally Potter, photographed by Sacha Vierny and starring Christina Ricci, Cate Blanchett and Johnny Depp, opens Friday at the Camera 3 in San Jose.

		There are a few percussionists in the mix as well, but not all the personnel are known due to the loose nature of the original recordings, which were made by club owners and never intended for release.
		Nonetheless, The Man Who Cried Fire is an essential recording by Kirk.
		Simply put, there is no other live album in jazz history that accomplishes what this one does: The Man Who Cried Fire gives a complete and rounded portrait of its speaking subject that will last for ages if Dorn can keep it in print.

		Potter, who also wrote the screenplay, seems convinced that all of this melodrama and pageantry is needed to deliver this message: Fascism is Bad.
		Blanchett is excellent, but her character is too shallow to carry the the film, and Depp brings the whole operation down a level playing the same ludicrously romantic one-dimensional character he did in Chocolat.
		Universal presents The Man Who Cried in a fine anamorphic transfer (1.85:1) with both DTS and Dolby Digital 5.1 mixes.

		Maddie will not celebrate his wedding, because she thinks he has been irresponsible, while David thinks being so spontaneous is a wonderfully romantic thing, and that the alternative -- carefully weighing pros and cons -- is just an excuse for not taking action, and for not living one's life.
		Bower's case: Maddie will have nothing to do with a man who strikes his wife, while David recognizes that people sometimes do unjustifiable acts on spontaneous impulse.

		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.
		THE MAN WHO CRIED is (fair warning) in the nature of a idealistic chick-flick with an overlay of socio-political importance.

		I have never liked the way that Rahsaan Roland Kirk is often treated as a novelty and circus act (as you can guess, neither did he) rather than the completely legitimate, incredibly talented, highly individual artist that he actually was.
		Dorn’s Kirk release, The Man Who Cried Fire sets the record straight, offering a view of Kirk as one of the most expansive musicians in the jazz canon, right up there with Ellington and Coltrane.
		The Man Who Cried Fire is a fantastic sound documentary on one of jazz music’s most intrepid individualists.

	THE MAN WHO CRIED movie review (with clip, photo)
		With script and direction by Potter, The Man Who Cried details the odyssey of a young Jewish orphan (Christina Ricci) from the Russian village of her childhood, to a damp England of the early '30s, through the society whirl of the Paris Opera, and on to a trans-Atlantic journey to find her father in America.
		Suzie experiences anti-Semitism, the Nazi occupation, the betrayal of a friend (Cate Blanchett) and the slimy advances of an arrogant opera star (a hammy John Turturro).
		The Man Who Cried plays out like a sudsy soap opera about Europe between the wars, performed by actors struggling with a wide variety of accents.

	Blogcritics.org: Review: The Man Who Cried
		One of the movies that I find hardest to watch, even though I consider it beautiful, is Sally Potter's The Man Who Cried Poignant, bittersweet; pick any one of the usual clichéd adjectives you want and it still falls short of capturing the atmosphere generated by this film.
		What distinguishes The Man Who Cried from your standard movie of the week are the time period of the movie, the cast, and most of all Sally Potter's ability to avoid the pitfalls of cheap sentimentality and emotional manipulation.
		In A Man Who Cried it's about a young Jewish woman looking to be reunited with her father and survive the terrors of a world gone mad.
