In the Shadow of Women
L’ombre des femmes
Directed by Philippe Garrel
2015, in French with English subtitles
France
B/W, 73 minutes, DCP
Auteur Philippe Garrel’s latest, about marital infidelity, is crisply shot in black and white.
Parisian couple Pierre (Stanislas Merhar), a struggling documentarian, and his film-editor wife, Manon (Clothilde Courau), have a seemingly stable relationship until he embarks on an affair with a flirtatious film intern (Léna Paugam).
Discovering her husband’s transgressions, Manon strays as well, leading to an inevitable confrontation.
TheFilmStage.com declares the material is treated “with a freshness that is discreetly radical,” by employing “an ironic narration (Louis Garrel) that highlights Pierre’s double standards” while the film reflects the irreconcilable differences between the sexes.
