Private Property (2006)
(Nue propriété)
Country: LUX/BEL/FR
Technical: col 105m
Director: Joachim Lafosse
Cast: Isabelle Huppert, Jérémie Renier, Yannick Renier
Synopsis:
As her twin sons grow up into men - or oversize boys - a divorced woman considers her future and dreams of starting a Bed and Breakfast with her Flemish lover somewhere else. Much to the vitriolic opposition of the more articulate of the boys, who attempts to block her attempts to sell the house, so much so that she leaves.
Review:
Each scene an unvarying medium shot, eschewing close-ups and editing, the film is a slow-boil tracking of febrile relationships, from over-dependent sons to an over-secretive mother, towards its tragic climax, and is reminiscent of Pialat in its pervasive misery.
