La femme de GillesYear: 2004 Country: Belgium, France, Luxembourg, Italy, Switzerland Actors and Actresses: Alice Verlinden, Chloé Verlinden Tags: bathing girl Review: Set in one of those sleepy hamlets burbling with underground rivers of molten feeling, the French drama "Gilles's Wife" opens with a man returning home and rousing his sleeping wife first to consciousness, then to passion. The man is Gilles (Clovis Cornillac), a provider with the fleshy round face of a baby, who dutifully trudges with antlike constancy between his home and the mine in which he works. Not until this pacific world comes undone by those molten passions do we hear the name of Gilles's wife, a woman whose steady smile speaks to a well-ordered life organized around her beautiful children, her tidy home and, most important, the husband who serves as her sun. The woman, the wife and the mother is Elisa, and she is played by the fascinating French actress Emmanuelle Devos. Ms. Devos has softly blurred features and a smile as enigmatic as the Mona Lisa's. The story is simplicity itself: Elisa, as if waking from a dream, slowly realizes that Gilles has developed a passion for another woman. The director of "Gilles's Wife" is Frédéric Fonteyne, whose best-known film is a slight entertainment called "A Pornographic Affair" that, much like this work, has an appealing surface beauty and an equally shallow mystery. — Manohla Dargis, The New York Times Movie added at: 08.11.2025 |

Mockingbird Don't SingYear: 2001 Country: USA Actors and Actresses: Tarra Steele, Lora Anne Criswell Review: On November 4, 1970 on The CBS Evening News, Walter Cronkite reported on a true, horrific story that was about to rock the country. A 13-year-old girl was discovered in the small Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia who was still in diapers, barely able to walk and unable to speak. Kept in severe isolation by her parents with virtually no human contact for more than 10 years, she was confined to her bedroom, tied to her potty-chair and left to fend for herself. As Cronkite noted, it was one of the most horrendous cases of child abuse ever to surface. Much like an animal, the girl spat, sniffed and clawed. She had none of the traits or characteristics of conventional human behavior, nor could she comprehend such modern societal conveniences as silverware or bathroom etiquette. Her emotional development was practically non-existent, and she could not speak. With this heartbreaking story, the world was being introduced to a fragile, beautiful teenager who seemed and behaved like an infant, or Wild Child. - Steven Zeller Movie added at: 30.03.2025 |
