It is such a versatile and profound movie when you really think about it. It isn't only about lesbian sex from left and right, but all the intimate moments have a deeper meaning engraved in them. The intimacy illustrates the running of the plot of the movie in an interesting and addictive way.
Nicole Courcel is amazing in the movie. She created a whole atmosphere with just her eyes and appearance. Anicée Alvina did act her characters feelings extremely lively getting the viewer to really feel like a part of the movie's world.
The way that Tamara is as a character is very disturbing, but then again subtle hints through out the movie give away why she is like that. We get small hints about Tamara's past, but the story still leaves gaps for the viewers to fulfill. This also applies to Helene since her relationship to her mother is left quite untouched. This technique for creating characters in movies is such a great way to create layered characters.
The ending also sort of leaves it up for the viewer to interpret. At the end of the day the interpretation of a film is largely up to the viewer and dependant of the viewers personal experience. Le Rempart des Béguines certainly is a great drama from an amateurs point of view.
