Subject: [MV] La femme qui boit (2000) (The woman who drinks)
*Small spoiler*
Ok, I saw this excellent film last night ... french
canadian movie ... The original title is : "La femme
qui boit" ... it is available in the original version
with english subtitles : "The woman who drinks" ...
4/5
It's the simple story of a woman, starts off in the
1950's and then we get to see what happens to her over
the course of 30 years approximately ... As the title
suggests she has a major drinking problem ... We get
to meet her husband, her kid, her sister and her lover
... It starts at the end where she is alone in a room,
all old and bitter, saying in voice overs how her life
really *sucks* and then we flashback 30 years before
and get to see how she got there ...
Wow, amazing actors in this film, Elise Guilbault is
great as the bitter drunken woman, this is what I call
acting, I'm not even sure if she wasn't really getting
drunk for real, that's how good she was ... Luc Picard
is her husband who cheats on her left and right and
fights with her all the time (when he is home of
course !) ... Also Michel Forget as her lover and the
young son who tries everything to get her to stop
drinking ...
I appreciated the hand held cameras used to film this,
the woman walks around often all drunk and by having a
hand held camera it makes her walk even more uncertain
... leaning left ... right ... stumbling, etc.
The film is highly depressing, although there are some
moments that are actually comical as when the woman's
husband buys her a nice fur coat but then a lil' while
later during a poker game he actually gives it to a
young woman there, he told her : "If you show me your
breasts, I'll give you the coat !" ... and she
actually disrobes right there in front of everybody
.... nasty stuff !! How humiliating for the woman who
