ABOUT THE FILM: In French with English subtitles. From whence does jealousy spring? Chantal Akerman’s erotic, contemporary reimagining of Le Captive, the fifth volume of Marcel Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past, opens with the flux of ocean waves and a home movie of young women on the beach. Suddenly, in the here and now, we are transported to the bourgeois Parisian apartment where Simon and Ariane live in a gilded cage of obsession and deceit. Ariane leads a double life, keeping the company of women who remain inaccessible to Simon, and however much she pleases him or eases his pain, she is a cipher. Furtive glances are exchanged, sensual odors described, exquisite pleasures held in torturous abeyance. FORMAT: DCP DISTRIBUTOR: Janus Films COUNTRY: France/Belgium
