'MEMOIR OF WAR'
MARGUERITE DURAS BIOPIC!
France has selected their candidate for next year's foreign language movie Oscars: MEMOIR OF WAR set in
June 1944, France is still under the
German occupation. The writer and communist Robert Antelme, major figure of the Resistance, is arrested and deported. His young wife Marguerite Duras (Melanie Thierry), writer and resistant, is torn by the anguish of not having news of her and her secret affair with her comrade Dyonis. She meets a French agent working at the Gestapo, Pierre Rabier, and, ready to do anything to find her husband, puts himself to the test of an ambiguous relationship with this troubled man, only to be able to help him. The end of the war and the return of the camps announce to Marguerite Duras the beginning of an unbearable wait, a slow and silent agony in the midst of the chaos of the Liberation of Paris.

Both films look incredible. I am especially looking forward to Mia and the White Lion. 3 years in the making, I am sure the cast and animals had a beautiful bond by the end of filming.
ReplyDeletedon't know how the little actress parted from the lion who grew up with her for those three years.
DeleteHopefully, she is still able to visit and spend time with him. It would be a shame if not.
Deletemaybe, but I'm guessing it ain't easy travelling down to South Africa just to visit a lion :)
DeleteWhere there's a will, there's a way. She did it for 3 years before filming, it would be a pity for the lion to wonder why his friend abandoned him.
Deletemy cat probably would not give a damn if I'd disappear lol
DeleteI bet he would, at the first sign din dins was not coming.
Deletehe certainly couldn't count on my mother to feed him... she forgets to do it even the few times during the year when I'm out all day away from the city.
DeleteMia and the White Lion looks like a touching film.
