Well, this is the latest by Frederic Fonteyne that won rave reviews at the past Toronto Internation Film Festival. I saw it yesterday at the High Museum's Rich theater and enjoyed it very much. Without getting too much into it, I'll say that the direction and cinematography was amazing but this is not the film to watch if you're into dialog (there's less than eleven minutes in the two hour spread) or looking for a hard and fast resolution. See it just for the imagery if nothing else.

Cinema Guild says:

"Set in the 1930’s, Gilles’ Wife is a haunting tale of love and betrayal in a small mining town on the outskirts of France. A startling new film from director Frederic Fonteyne (Une Liaison Pornographique), and featuring an extraordinary performance from Emmanuelle Devos (Kings and Queen), it tells the story of Elisa, a devoted wife who begins to suspect her husband Gilles is having an affair with her younger sister. Determined to save her marriage, Elisa undertakes a strange and disquieting battle to recover what she has lost, and to become once again, Gilles’ wife."

"Gille's Wife" is released by Cinema Guild and is making limited appearances in select cities.
