A sophisticated cleaving of the heart and identity that's both a sex drama and a love story - just like life. I was absorbed by the complicated reality of finding oneself and each other. When we give away parts of ourselves, can we jigsaw them back together?
Director Jacques Audiard impresses - he's previously made great movies but this is his classiest. All round, the actors were perfection - Lucie Zhang dazzles in her feature debut, and Noémie Merlant is as wonderful as she was in 'Portrait of a Lady on Fire'. The screenwriting and cinematography were terrific too.
'Paris, 13th District' more than absorbed me as its emotions remain with me. Its black & white was perfect for watching last rainy night, and holding onto this rainy morning.
