Miéville’s debut solo feature refines the formal explorations of her earlier work into a melancholy depiction of a 20-year-old opera singer (Gaële Le Roi) and the effect her unexpected pregnancy has on herself, her mother (Anny Romand) and grandmother (Hélène Roussel). Featuring a bracingly discursive soundtrack contrasting Mozart, Mahler, Gluck and others with various jazz and pop tracks.
Preceded by Le livre de Marie Anne-Marie Miéville (1985) 26 mins – R 18+. Miéville’s deeply affecting portrait of the “end” of childhood was originally designed to screen in combination with Godard’s Hail Mary. With Aurore Clément. 35mm print.
