An Impossible Love (2018)
(Un amour impossible)
Country: FR/BEL
Technical: col/2.35:1 135m
Director: Catherine Corsini
Cast: Virginie Efira, Niels Schneider, Estelle Lescure
Synopsis:
Starting from the 1950s, the lives of a mother and daughter are vivisected on the altar of a man's intellectual pride and egotism.
Review:
Finely acted and meticulously directed drama, dominated by Efira's majestic performance as a woman so full of tenderness she brings harm on herself and the person dearest to her. While some may baulk at her apparent acquiescence to so much, one must remember the implications of her sex and reduced social status in post-war France, and that she is in love. Once again Corsini delivers an intimist portrait of a woman subject to conflicting feelings and life-changing decisions, but there is added depth here and technical credits are high.
