Introduction by series programmer Sahib Singh
Bakshi
The sixth
feature from writer-director Valérie Donzelli (also an accomplished
actress in her own right), co-written with the filmmaker Audrey Diwan (Happening),
features a virtuosic Virginie Efira (Other People’s Children,
Benedetta) in a double role as twin sisters Rose and Blanche.
After Blanche falls for Grégoire (Melvil Poupaud) at a party, the two
quickly marry and relocate far away from her beloved sibling. But, as an
opening scene of Rose telling her story in a lawyer’s office suggests, a
sinister dimension to Grégoire quickly emerges, and a marriage that seemed to
offer a bright new beginning soon takes on the appearance of something more
like a trap. Donzelli’s César-nominated film is a tensely effective erotic
thriller that doubles as an acute psychological study of a profoundly
disturbing relationship. (France, 2023, 105 mins, French with English
Subtitles)
