A WOMAN'S LIFE ★★☆☆☆
D: Stéphane Brizé (The Measure of a Man, Not Here to Be Loved).
S: Judith Chemla, Jean-Pierre Darroussin, Yolande Moreau, Clotilde Hesme.
Padded, repetitive, monotone catalogue of misery. 19th century patriarchy condemnation needed far more vitality.
ZOOLOGY ★★★☆☆
D: Ivan I. Tverdovsky.
S: Natalia Pavlenkova, Dmitry Groshev, Irina Chipizhenko.
A woman grows a tail, and suffers even more after brief moments of hope. Society's cruelty is the target.
HEAL THE LIVING ★★★★☆
D: Katell Quillévéré.
S: Tahar Rahim, Emmanuelle Seigner, Anne Dorval, Bouli Lanners, Kool Shen, Monia Chokri, Alice Taglioni, Karim Leklou, Alice de Lencquesaing, Finnegan Oldfield, Théo Cholbi, Gabin Verdet, Dominique Blanc.
Stylish, emotional, tense. Melodrama of the highest order. Juxtaposition of scenes deft.
