Screenings
Confronting gendered hypocrisy in the aftermath of the Second World War, this elegant drama questions the legacy of occupation – a time when the female body, as a site of collaboration, was violently judged. Sophisticated storytelling and striking camerawork frame Marie’s struggle for a new life within the constraints of wealth and conformity, casting a fresh perspective on whom we choose to condemn.
