The Story of Adele H.

This story takes place in 1863 starring the beautiful young daughter Adele Hugo (Isabelle Adjani) of the world famous writer Victor Hugo. While on an Island called Guernsey with her father she met Lieutenant Pinson (Bruce Robinson). She meets Lt. Pinson then falls in love. The Lieutenant proposes to her, but for him it was not sincere, and Adele accepts. Lt. Pinson is then ordered to report to Halifax. She crosses the Atlantic in search of Lieutenant Pinson she believes is her husband to be, her lover, and her life. For months and years she waits for him, harasses him, and then throws herself in his path only to be disappointed as they do not marry. Eventually, her intense obsession gives way to extreme madness. Today, we call people like these… stalkers. She goes across the country on a whim of infatuation.
This was a good film in my opinion because of the suspense that she would travel so far and go through so much to try and be with this man. It keeps you in suspense because you would think the ending would be the two getting married and then the imagination of them living happily ever after with children and a house.
While Lt. Pinson was playing a game with her heart Adele became outraged with passion of love and as we all know, that love can make you do crazy things and that usually leads to a broken heart.
