A WOMAN'S LOVE
Dir: Sylvie Verheyde, France, 2003, Beta SP, 90 mins, French with English subtitles
Jeanne is a successful osteopath, wife and mother, but feels something is missing; her life has become routine, and at 35 she feels her youth slipping away. At a party she meets Marie, a sultry stripper and dance teacher. The meeting awakens memories of wanting to be a dancer. After enrolling in Marie’s dance class Jeanne feels an awakened sensuality and vitality, along with another, unfamiliar sentiment – passion for another woman. The two begin an affair and while others disapprove of their love, Marie’s unconventionality and wildness allow her to freely discount the opinions of others. Jeanne, however, must decide between her newfound pleasure and the family life that has supported her for so long. In a tour-de-force of direction, Sylvie Verheyde tells the compelling story of two passionate women.
