That Thing He Had for the Boss’s Wife
‘A Promise,’ With Alan Rickman and Rebecca Hall
By STEPHEN HOLDEN
APRIL 17, 2014
An unconsummated long-distance passion thatresists the erosion of time and memory is the subject of the Austrian writerStefan Zweig's posthumously published novella, “Journey Into the Past.” Whenaddressed in the movies, this kind of longing is usually diluted into soapopera and its darker psychological implications suffocated by a gauzyromanticism.

This tasteful daydream, which features one ofGabriel Yared's lushest film scores, is the first English-language movie by Mr.Leconte , whose critical reputation has declined since its peak in themid-1990s when his “Ridicule” won Cesar awards (the French Oscars) for bestfilm and director.Playing the principal characters in “A Promise,” theBritish actors Alan Rickman , Rebecca Hall and Richard Madden lend a high-toned“Masterpiece Theater” gloss to a story that begins in pre-World War I Germanyand ends there after the war when Nazism is on the rise.

An incalculable asset is the presence of Mr.Rickman, whose character, Karl Hoffmeister is a wealthy, ailing German steelmanufacturer. Through minute changes of expression and tone of voice,Mr. Rickman is a master of insinuation and ambiguity. As he stealthilyobserves his beautiful, much younger wife, Lotte (Ms. Hall) resisting herattraction to his bright, handsome new young assistant, Friedrich (Mr. Madden),you're never quite sure if he wants to kill Friedrich or adopt him.
A keen-eyed eager beaver, whom Mr. Madden(“Game of Thrones”) imbues with a sensitivity at times reminiscent of the youngMontgomery Clift, Friedrich is a steelworks employee who earned an engineeringdegree despite having grown up a ward of the state. In contemporaryparlance, he is a young man on the make.

Abandoning his garret and his working-glassgirlfriend, he moves into his boss's house and becomes tutor to Karl's son,Otto (Toby Murray). The instant attraction between Friedrich and Lotteblossoms into a mutual obsession that Lotte refuses to acknowledge until thenight before Friedrich leaves for Mexico to work for two years. They vowto wait until he returns. But World War I breaks out, and nearly adecade passes before they reunite.
Ms. Hall's Lotte is the weak link in thetriangle. Despite all her character's flowery words of longing, shecan't convey the heat bottled under Lotte's demure demeanor. Ms. Hallmakes the right gestures, but you never sense her heart beating faster or seeher blush.
The film's other insurmountable problem is thecompression of its story. The anguish of the lovers' decade-longseparation can't be evoked in a matter of minutes, and when Friedrich returnslooking pretty much unchanged except for a limp, it's as though he took aweek's working vacation and came home more exhausted than when he left.
