The Story of AdÃ¨le H / int_121b3725	type	Age Lift
The Story of AdÃ¨le H / int_121b3725	comment	Age Lift: The real AdÃ¨le Hugo's misguided obsession occurred in her early thirties, and she was past forty when she finally was able to leave Barbados and go home. In the film, she is played by the obviously young Isabelle Adjani, who was only twenty at the time, though the events still take place in 1863.

Many events of the film can be corroborated, but as the narrative is based off of the mentally ill AdÃ¨le's diary entries, it's uncertain how much of the film actually happened.

The only reason the boarders are slow to discover her identity is that they simply don't know who Victor Hugo is; she's found out pretty quickly by a curious bookseller.

The Story of AdÃ¨le H / int_4e3d253b	type	Downer Ending
The Story of AdÃ¨le H / int_4e3d253b	comment	Downer Ending: AdÃ¨le's mind deteriorates so far that she no longer recognizes Pinson. She wanders the streets of Barbados destitute and insane until a former slave takes pity on her and manages to get her back home to her father; but by then, her ill mother has already died without her having seen her again, and AdÃ¨le herself can hardly communicate with others. The film ends with the note that AdÃ¨le was the only child of Victor Hugo to outlive him, and she lived in a sanitarium for decades until her death in 1915, which was overshadowed by World War I. Even more depressing in real life: AdÃ¨le was in Barbados with Pinson for three years, but he completely abandoned her in 1869, leaving her to founder there for three more years while she was unable to and unwell enough to leave Barbados herself or contact her father. In the film, she is not there for long before she's rescued by a kindly local.

By the end of the film, she doesn't even recognize Pinson, "the love of her life," anymore.
