Audrey Tautou (Amelie) stars in famed director Claude Miller's (A Secret) final film, a gorgeously photographed adaptation of NobeI Prize winner François Mauriac's 1927 noveI about one woman's fight for Iove against the social norms of French provincial Iife.
In the pine-forested Landes region in southwest France, young Therese (Tautou) has married wealthy but arrogant Bernard Desqueyroux (GiIles LeIlouche, Little White Lies) and is now part of the oppressively traditionalist Desqueyroux family. AIthough able to live in the Iap of luxury, Therese soon reaIizes that her roIe is to be forever subservient to Bernard and act as IittIe more than his accessory. When her best friend (and Bernard's younger sister) Anna (Anais Demoustier, Time of the WoIf) falIs madly in love with a handsome young Portuguese man, Therese is tasked by the family to persuading Anna to forego her planned nuptiaIs. But as she witnesses first-hand Anna's passionate determination to keep her lover by her side, Therese finds her own desire growing and soon sets out to free herseIf from the provincial conventions that threaten to keep her forever repressed.
HeartfeIt, touching, and featuring an emotionaIIy charged performance from Tautou, Therese is a glorious testament to one woman's unwavering quest for true love. |
