38KUn amour impossible: Directed by Catherine Corsini. With Virginie Efira, Niels Schneider, Jehnny Beth, Estelle Lescure. In the late 1950s in Châteauroux, France, Rachel, a modest office worker, meets Philippe, a brilliant young man born to a bourgeois family. This brief but passionate connection results in the birth of a daughter, Chantal. Philippe refuses to marry outside of his social class and Rachel has to raise their daughter alone. Regardless, Chantal is a great source of happiness for Rachel. She wishes for Philippe to legally acknowledge his daughter, which would give her his last name. A battle of more than ten years ensues, which will eventually break up all of their lives.
“Set in a time where men could get women pregnant and disavow them with no consequences, the story follows the life of a woman who takes getting dumped on as a way of life that gets passed down through generations. It got to be so bleak I counted the minutes until it ended and wouldnu0026#39;t recommend it to anyone. How it got as high a rating as it did is a mystery.”
