6.7/10. Recommended.

This is the first Jean-Claude Brisseau movie that i have watched. It's a pity that there are so few reviews and ratings. It's not a great movie but it's far better than thousands of movies with many more ratings and reviews.A good arthouse drama movie with very nice cinematography, an interesting story and great acting. I could never guess where it goes and the final outcome, watching the first 30 minutes. No, don't expect mindblowing twists, this is a pure drama movie, there are not thrilling scenes, it's mellow, no heavy drama, no crazy things are happenning. But still, as another reviewer mentioned, this is not " the sort of plot one expects from contemporary France".Watch it without reading a lot about this movie.

Not the sort of plot one expects from contemporary France

A film going deeper than I expected, possibly too deep for some, into the human condition and, what surprised me in a work from such a secular country, beyond.Rich and single in her early twenties in the French countryside, completely shattered by a string of traumatic events and collapsed weeping in the street, Céline is rescued by the village nurse Geneviève, divorced in her early twenties but one who has surmounted her own traumas and has the gifts to heal not just bodies but also troubled minds. After first getting Céline back into the normal routines of life, making the beds and cooking the lunch, she then initiates her into yogic exercices and meditation.Here the story moves to another plane as unrealised gifts in Céline emerge. Not only is she healed but in her journey towards the infinite finds that her powers heal others. In traditional Catholic terminology she has become a saint whose presence produces spontaneous miracles beyond scientific explanation. While Geneviève remains well earthed, Céline departs to join some nuns in Asia.Not the sort of plot one expects from contemporary France, shot through with a feel for beauty and enriched by magnificent music from Georges Delerue.
