The relationship between a father and daughter is complicated by the daughter's burgeoning reltionship with a young neighbour. Claire Denis has proved once again with this quiet, subtle, elliptical film, that she is supreme at capturing intimacy and desire on camera with a total freedom from all the tricks of mainstream cinema. Inspired, apparently, by a secret love within her own family, Denis is concerned to show, rather than explain in what one critic called “a miraculous family drama”.



Claire Denis France (2008) 12A 101 mins.
