Philippe Garrel : 2015
In the Shadow of Women
Pierre and Manon are poor. They make low-budget documentaries and live off odd jobs. When Pierre meets a young trainee, Elisabeth, she becomes his mistress. But Pierre doesn't want to leave Manon for Elisabeth – he wants to keep both. Elisabeth discovers that Manon has a lover, and tells Pierre. Pierre returns to Manon, the woman he truly loves. Feeling betrayed, he begs her, neglecting Elisabeth. A story on the theme of romantic passion, the birth and death of relationships and the strange paths of desire. A film of love, about love, about betrayals, the small and the great of them; about the cruelty of men, the intelligence of women, and the everyday heroism of lovers. Philippe Garrel's feature premiered at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at Festival de Cannes 2015.
