Garance: Adèle Exarchopoulos stunning (review)

The actress excels once again in Jeanne Herry’s new film which abandons the terrain of the choral film to sign the subtle and sensitive portrait of a young alcoholic woman.

“I wanted to move on before I was accused of repeating myself.” This is how it was expressed Jeanne Herry in our columns in May when we dedicated our Cannes cover to his film. After her first feature, Elle l’adore, the director had indeed established herself in the field of choral film thanks to Pupille on the world of adoption then I will always see your faces which highlighted the little-known world of restorative justice. With Garance, she chose to focus on a central character. The one who gives it its title. An actress living from her work without struggling too much, well surrounded and loved in her private life but struggling with a deep addiction to alcohol that we will follow for eight years. Eight years of (a few) ups and (a lot) of downs.
