A French publisher looks back over four decades of her life, including the sorrow that almost crushed her in Laurent Larivière’s tale of love and pain and sex with an octopus.
OK, sure, call it an ivory tower problem, but there are few things sadder than a great screen actor getting a career honor at a major festival tethered to the premiere of an embarrassingly bad film. Even more depressing is the thought that the good folks at the Berlinale might have programmedhauteur on this year’s glamor-light red carpet. Her last-minute cancellation due to a positive COVID test nixed that benefit, too.
The revered French star could be magnificently magnetic reading her grocery lists, but even she struggles to overcome the fussily fragmented approach, the overload of contrived quirks and the yawning absence of story sense in Laurent Larivière’s wafty melodrama.
