Last night I finally got a chance to watch Don’t Look Back/Ne te retourne pas, a highly anticipated film by Marina de Van. I am a big fan of French cinema and an equally loyal follower of Monica Bellucci’s work. The bonus here, besides the fascinating plot, grasping at the eluding childhood memory combined with de Van’s chilling body metamorphosis, is the presence of another European beauty – Sophie Marceau. Although the two women sharing the role of the main heroine are breathtaking, the movie that promised to be an emotional thriller full of sensual suspense felt lengthy and never fully unleashed. I do like the director’s play with insanity though. The blending of the memory pieces into the puzzle of reality is beautifully symbolized by fusing Bellucci and Marceau’s faces. A must watch!
