Love redefined
|
| We learn about two women Helene and Madeleine. We meet Helene in WWII France in the Jewish women camp about to be send off to the concentration camp. Her beauty meets the eye of a man who offers her marriage that she accepts as a means of avoiding the concentration camp. At the same time, Madeleine is an art student married to a colleague student who tragically gets killed during one of the student riots. 10 years later, in the early 1950s both women get to know each other after attending their children's school rehearsal. By now, Helene has two daughters and Madeleine has a son. Both are trapped in the marriages that can only be described as loveless arrangements of convenience. Their respective husbands see them as a possesions to have and show off to the outside world, creatures destined to stay home and tend to their children. But as the friendship between the two women develops, their frustration with their lives starts to simmer. They try to cover their dissatisfaction with love affirs, or one time encounters with the strangers, until they both come to realize how strong their mutual attraction for each other is. Both women understand each other and feel each other's emotional void they experience with their husbands. Their innate sense of style, strong desire for independence and want for meaningful existance draws them together to the frustration of both of their husbands. While movie never shows sexually explicit connection between two women their need for each other is obvious. Nothing seems to be able to stop it and social norms of the time are to be broken regardless of the consequences. Based on the life and experiences of director's mother this is a powerful story. It is also impossible to believe that Isabelle Huppert made this film 20 almost years ago. She is still equally beautiful, but I finally got to understand how she established herself as an actress portraying very emotionally complicated women. |
