Camille (I) (2008)
7/10
A gem of a movie

Warning: Spoilers
What do you do with an overbearing bride on her wedding night? You kill her, of course. Problem is: she won't die. Problems, problems and more problems when the groom starts to fall in love with …a corpse? Solution: maintain calm and continue on your honeymoon to Niagara Falls with your new wife who has a knack of coming back to life at, of course, inopportune moments.

Camille is an enchanting exercise into fantasy. Mr. Franco scores a near-perfect performance as the new and most hesitant groom. The title character is portrayed by Sienna Miller. Ms. Miller's transformation from grueling, controlling, uber-bride bitch to loving, yet fragile (and dead) woman is superb. Her translation and interpretation of Camille is easy and fun to witness.

It's always a simple pleasure to find a little gem like Camille.
