Mademoiselle Chambon (2009)
Country: FR
Technical: col/2.35:1 101m
Director: Stéphane Brizé
Cast: Vincent Lindon, Sandrine Kiberlain, Aure Atika
Synopsis:
A builder and his son's primary school teacher are drawn to one another in a tentative and largely unspoken love.
Review:
Dramatically slight but affecting brief encounter with a similarly musical motif (she plays the violin). An opening scene reveals the man's tenacity and intellectual curiosity but there is otherwise little to justify the woman's attraction to him, save the recognition of a fellow artisan with some sort of a personal philosophy. Lindon's is very much a reined in performance, conveying the man's relative inarticulacy and simplicity; it is Kiberlain who gets the best lingering shots and whose face yields the most in affect.
