Memoir of Pain

The film, starring Benoît Magimel and Mélanie Thierry who plays Duras, has been sold by TF1 Studio internationally, and has been distributed in the United States by Music Box Films since the end of August. Last January, our journalist François Forestier published this criticism:

A risky bet, but very successful: the adaptation of the text of Marguerite Duras in which she recounts her painful expectation, her husband, Robert Antelme, having been arrested by the Nazis. Shared between her lover, Dionys Mascolo, and her seduction business with a gestapist, the author twists her suffering, while the liberation of Paris looms ...

It is with tact and a lot of class that Emmanuel Finkiel ("Travels", "I'm not a bastard") addresses this book, despite the procrastination of Marguerite Duras, who lies brazenly when she says she did not retouch this text of 1947. Mélanie Thierry is of a perfect accuracy in the role. Author's cinema, intelligent cinema - with brief puffs of intense emotion. In short, a movie we love.
