Meticulous photography, detailed set design and art direction. A period piece set in 1930’s France starring Emmanuelle Devos playing a wife waiting for an end of her husband’s lovesickness over her sister. Director Fonteyne takes us through a year marked by changing seasons and growth of a newborn baby. The entire film is Devos. We studying her in longsuffering silence putting up with Gilles’ teenage-like angst most often demonstrated in fits of jealous rage or brokenhearted gloom. Perfect acting and beautiful to watch in this unusual story with not much dialogue but lots to study.
