Re: IN PRAISE OF MELVILLE’S WHALE CHAPTERS

[Dave Monroe]

Pola X is a 1999 French romantic drama film starring Guillaume
Depardieu, Yekaterina Golubeva and Catherine Deneuve. The film is
loosely based on the Herman Melville novel Pierre: or, The
Ambiguities. It revolves around a successful young novelist who is
confronted by a woman who claims to be his lost sister, and the two
begin a romantic relationship. The film title is an acronym of the
French title of the novel, Pierre ou les ambiguïtés, plus the Roman
numeral "X" indicating the tenth draft version of the script that was
used to make the film.
