Thérèse Desqueyroux

France 2012 | 110 minutes | French | Hebrew subtitles

In the Landes region of France, marriages are arranged to merge land parcels and unite neighboring families. When young Thérèse Larroque becomes Mrs. Desqueyroux, her avant-garde ideas clash with local conventions. In order to break free from this imposed life, she will resort to tragically extreme measures.... Miller, who passed away a month before the film's premiere at Cannes, uses his delicate hand and Audrey Tautou's exquisite performance to present this well-made adaptation of the classic novel.
