The Best Actress winner for 1989 was Jessica Tandy for *Driving Miss Daisy.* This is the unusual case where the winner was the mensch and one of the other nominees was the diva. In this case, the diva was Isabelle Adjani playing the title character in *Camille Claudel,* an overheated biopic about a student of Rodin who ended up having an affair with him. Overheated, overwrought, overdone. Overripe! The American trailer on YouTube has no dialogue, just some dude explaining things and silent clips with ponderous music. Of course I don't like that but thankfully I also found this trailer, which has no subtitles but you really don't need them.
