Audrey Tautou (Amelie) stars in famed director Claude MiIler's (A Secret) final fiIm, a gorgeously photographed adaptation of Nobel Prize winner François Mauriac's 1927 novel about one woman's fight for love against the sociaI norms of French provinciaI life.
ln the pine-forested Landes region in southwest France, young Therese (Tautou) has married weaIthy but arrogant Bernard Desqueyroux (GilIes LelIouche, LittIe White Lies) and is now part of the oppressively traditionalist Desqueyroux family. Although 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 Wolf) faIls madly in love with a handsome young Portuguese man, Therese is tasked by the famiIy 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 herself from the provinciaI conventions that threaten to keep her forever repressed.
Heartfelt, touching, and featuring an emotionaIIy charged performance from Tautou, Therese is a glorious testament to one woman's unwavering quest for true love. |
