Rastlos, Renée (2016)

Rastlos, Renée: Directed by Arnaud des Pallières. With Adèle Haenel, Adèle Exarchopoulos, Solène Rigot, Vega Cuzytek. A young woman moves to Paris with a disastrous past. When she becomes a woman and thinks she’s finally free from her past’s shadows, some characters show up and she gets the chance to become a unique heroine.

“You may think about David Fincheru0026#39;s BENJAMIN BUTTON, but on a lesser scale, of course, when you see this French film telling the story of a woman during the four major steps of her life. Child, teen, young woman and a little later. And those phases are shown through four different faces, four different faces. A splendid cast which emphasizes a moving but very sad tale that will let no one unaffected. Adèle Haenel and Exarchopoulos are both outstanding in two of the femaleu0026#39;s faces. And the editing did not bother me at all. But I am afraid that many audiences will avoid this film. Sure, this is not a comedy and this dark side of the characters can be depressing to many folks. such a shame. I highly recommend it.”
