La Femme de Gilles
(dir. Frédéric Fonteyne, 2004)
A novel by Madeleine Bourdouxhe is transformed into the compelling story of a woman, stunningly performed by Emmanuelle Devos, who at times feels like nothing more than Gilles’ wife. Set in 1930’s in a small mining town of northern France, this silent and devoted wife struggles with the realization that her husband is sleeping with her own sister. The emotional intensity is carried by the facial expressions and superb cinematography. “Best Actress” at Mar del Plata film festival; Golden Tulip, Istanbul International Film Festival (2005)
