Due

One of that seductive films in wich a smart script is served, with gentle elegance, by admirable performances. Rare chemistry between lead characters, splendid work of Martine Chevallier and Barbara Sukowa, magnificent exploration of nuances and flavors, intimacy and grace of a closed long term sentimental relation and a sort of intimacy real magnificent served scene by scene. Tensions and a stroke changing everything. A delicate subject and seductive art to explore it in profound manner. A film about love, apparences, emotions, feelings and two women making fundamental choice. And sure, about truth, to. So, most simple suggestion can be only to see it .

Nina Dorn (Barbara Sukowa) and Madeleine Girard (Martine Chevallier) are neighbors and secret lovers. They plan to sell Madeleine's apartment and travel together. Only Madeleine is having trouble coming out to her adult children, Anne and Frédéric.

This movie has many long uncut scenes. It's an artistic choice from this first time feature director. The first noticeable use is the burning skillet. It's a very effective move especially when it denotes Nina's slowly building longing. This is more romantic and more tragic than any puppy love teenagers. It is a quiet emotional drama of devastating power. I might do a more tragic ending although this ending is very beautiful. Only, I would consider adding a slow dance scene to start the movie. This is the tragic beauty of true love.

Interesting story and a dire situation. Love between two senior women shown with affection. Wish there were more movies as tender as this one

A.difficult subject approached by a young director in very tender and sweet way. A wonderful movie about the power of love overcoming the difficulties and victoriously glow at the end. A must see movie. It will warm your hearts :)
