- 18Léa Seydoux, Sylvie Testud, Bruno Todeschini"A meticulously drawn study of a pilgrimage to the iconic site, touching on themes of faith, hope and charity. Christine (Sylvie Testud) has been in a wheelchair for most of her life, and suffers a sense of isolation. Desperately wanting to take part in the world around her, she travels to Lourdes on an organised tour accompanied by carers from the Order of Malta. Sceptic though she is, Christine, like so many others, is hoping for a miraculous cure at the iconic site of pilgrimage. The third film from Jessica Hausner (Lovely Rita, Hotel), Lourdes is a meticulously drawn and precisely nuanced study taking in themes of faith, hope and charity. Hausner is faultless in creating a sense of atmosphere – vague foreboding hangs in the air, and there is a feeling of things all being slightly off-kilter, reinforced by the film's cool palette. That this is a less austere film than Hotel is largely due to the carefully drawn characters, and the relationship between them. Sylvie Testud gives a superb performance as Christine, capturing her frustrations and indignities as well as her glimpsed possibility of a different life, and the interactions between pilgrims and carers are acutely observed. They also sometimes make for uncomfortable viewing, as Hausner explores the complex dynamics of seemingly selfless acts." Quoting Sandra Hebron

Going South
Léa Seydoux, Nicole Garcia, Micheline Presle"It’s summertime, and the kids are heading to the beach for the French version of spring break. Brother and sister Matthieu and Léa have hitched a ride with Sam — an older, brooding Heathcliffe type with a gun in a plastic bag and a troubled past. When Léa’s attempt to seduce him fails, she picks up a third hitchhiker, the handsome oaf Jérémie. Now it’s Matthieu’s turn to move in on strong and silent Sam. Simple seaside pleasures — sand, sun, a bonfire — contrast sharply with the characters’ emotional turmoil in this taut psychological drama. Sam isn’t the only one with a secret. Matthieu and Léa are also using this carefree road trip to flee their problems. As the quartet speed down the road in Sam’s Ford, flashbacks show up like sudden storm clouds, giving glimpses of Sam’s tumultuous childhood and the shocking moment of violence he can’t forget. Alternately ignoring and actively rejecting Matthieu’s courtship, Sam’s feelings remain an enigma, until a game of nude wrestling is taken to its logical conclusion. Director Lifshitz, whose Teddy-award winning Wild Side screened at Frameline28, skillfully explores the way family ties can both support and strangle you. His raw, almost documentary-like cinematography takes on a lyrical beauty as the restless Sam moves from France to Spain in search of some kind of peace."
