Wild Grass
Les Herbes Folles
Director: Alain Resnais
Actors: Sabine Azéma / André Dussollier / Mathieu Amalric / Emmanuelle Devos / E.Baer / A.Consigny
FOUR CÉSAR NOMINATIONS! Best Film, Adapted Screenplay, Cinematography, Film Editing
As avant-garde as ever, 50 years after making his debut with the
landmark "Hiroshima Mon Amour", octogenarian director Alain Resnais
delivers a career-crowning masterpiece with this delightful roundelay,
based on Christian Gailly's novel "The Incident", about the fate-altering
ripples triggered by a lost handbag.
The purse belongs to Marguerite, a dentist who flies airplanes as a
hobby. Georges, an eccentric married man discovers it – and soon finds
himself infatuated with the purse's owner, even though he hasn't met
her. Resnais observes their elaborate dance of attraction and rejection,
hesitation and impulsiveness with all the wisdom of an artist who loves
his characters and revels in their misadventures.
Add in a couple of hilarious keystone cops, some dizzying aerial
acrobatics, and glorious widescreen camerawork and you have the
recipe for a uniquely playful meditation on coincidence and desire and a
vibrant, life-affirming film that provides many joyous surprises.
