Fairly Intriguing Euro Drama

A woman in high heels and business attire walks out of a subway tunnel and rolls herself up into the station platform and promptly urinates. The crowd waiting around look uneasy; obviously. That's how this film opens up. Certainly, grabs your attention and makes you wonder what in the world happened to her. Turns out this lady has been missing for two years. Her family tries to figure out where she had been as she had partial amnesia and her personality has changed. Follow the mental anguish as they try to piece her memory and their lives back together. This was a slow burn drama that lacked the same level of intrigue as the opening scene. Solid acting and basic cinematography. The movie poster is really bold though.

Another amnesia story ... but very well written, played, shot and sound designed.

An intriguing film about a woman who has reappeared after a long and initially unexplained absence, and who is now disconnected from her husband, child and any expectations as to what a 'good mother' should be. The deep focus cinematography often positions its lead in the centre of an expansive widescreen shot, as isolated and independent as Varda's Vagabond. A work on feminist identity disguised as psychodrama
