OÙ VA LA NUIT : BANDE-ANNONCE de Martin Provost... par baryla
A film that in some way reminds me of the Swedish films/drama's made the last few years, depicting people not taking responsibility for their lives leading them to act in a most desperate way in the end.
In this case we see Yolande Moreau as Rose Mayer, married to an asshole (excuse me the bad language), Thomas (Pierre Moure) who beats her up after drinking and without any other reason than the pleasure of doing it, as it seems.
However there are secrets within the family and those secrets will be revealed.
Thomas has killed a young woman when driving drunk and at the same spot, Rose kills him with their car.
During the funeral she looks more like the Merry Widow than a woman in mourning.
After this she take her suitcase and moves in with her son in Brussels, in order to think things over.
Her son is of course, at first, unaware of the circumstances around his fathers death, a father he always despised because of his way of treating both him and his mother.
Rose finds another widow in charge of a hotel and she becomes her soulmate, sharing experiences and secrets.
Will Rose be able to escape the murdering of her husband, her past, all the decisions and deeds haunting her and the rest of the family, including her son.
What are they hiding and what will become of them?
The story per se is not particularly original but thanks to the acting - not least from Yolande Moreau - the film develops into something worth watching and the different moral questions are highly visible and how to handle them becomes the key issue.
To flee from the past can sometimes be difficult and other times totally impossible.
We feared a 'Thelma & Louise'-ending but fortunately this didn't happen.
