SUZANNA ANDLER (2021) ¢ 1/2
D: Benoît Jacquot
Charlotte Gainsbourg, Neils Schneider,
Julia Roy, Nathan Wilcocks
A woman who's wealthy and bored mopes around a seaside villa she's thinking of renting for two million euros a month. She talks briefly with the real estate agent, and then with the guy she's cheating on her husband with and a woman with whom her husband has cheated on her. Sometimes, just to break the monotony, she and her lover smoke cigarettes. (Did I mention the movie is French?) The woman is played by Charlotte Gainsbourg, sporting a rich-girl look and wardrobe, and there are some exceptionally long takes, which is something, I guess, but the movie just drags on and on for what feels like days, and then it's over, but not soon enough.
