Based on a book by controversial French novelist Christine Angot, Corsini’s film begins in the 1950s, as office worker Rachel falls for the dashing Philippe, a Nietzsche-reading sophisticate. They embark on a passionate relationship, but he won’t share his life with her, and she raises their daughter Chantal alone. Years later, the darker side of Philippe’s nature emerges shockingly. Superbly performed and directed, this is a hugely impressive work by Corsini SUMMERTIME, LEAVING), its meticulous period recreation and potent feminist voice echoing the prime 1980s work of Diane Kurys. - BFI London Film Festival
