Prendre le large

A tale of lost connection with own social environment and a wish to remove oneself from the current nondescript life. A parable of migration in a reversed way. The movie works on a moderate level, low key characters and acting.

What a beautiful movie. Not over the top but understated. Music was a stand out and Sandrine Bonaire was perfect as the widowed mother who had lost purpose in life and decided to take a risk and make a new life in Morocco

This movie follows Edith, a middle-aged woman who is proposed to be laid-off or get another job in the same company in Morroco. Against all odds, Edith chooses to go to Morroco, with a low-paid salary, leaving her house and grown-up son in France.

With much subtlety, this movie shows a social reality that is few commented. The pace is slow but there is a lot to think about afterwards.

Furthermore, the cast is excellent as well as the music. - I highly recommend this movie.

It's moderately interesting, if somewhat implausible. It's a fairly quiet movie with some nice scenery. It seems honest in its portrayal of work places and situations.

I understand depressed people but a whole movie of it was challenging. Even when she seemed happy she was depressed.
