CloseRosetta star Emilie Dequenne is the lead in André Téchiné‘s rich, provocative drama about surviving the tensions of contemporary French life.
Emilie Dequenne plays young Jeanne, who applies for a secretarial job in the law firm run by Samuel Bleistein (Clanc) – a leading figure in Paris’s Jewish community and a former admirer of Jeanne’s mother Louise (Deneuve).
Jeanne meanwhile forms a relationship with aspiring wrestler Franck, but their idyll is disrupted by a brutal incident which leaves Jeanne traumatised – and reacting in an unusual and extreme manner.
As this leisurely drama develops, the characters’ personal dramas interweave with the political background, in particular the resurgence of French anti-Semitism.
This is a provocative and involving piece from a sure-footed, but often underestimated, French master.
