This is a masterpiece, I repeat, this is a masterpiece!! I was studying for my cinema exam and this one right away caught me. It's clear that the aesthetic aspect and camera work (and the editing) are the centre of it all but the plot and its structure must not come second. It's a genre that has as its main goal the subtle representation of the characters' psyche, more than the plot itself. The performances were absolutely amazing, especially by the protagonist in the role of Marie. Even though it was not the goal all I see is a powerful strong feminine character that even though she doesn't go through a proper arc I could feel on my skin what she was feeling and thinking all the time, also thanks to her subtle and intense performance. If this film came out today I'd probably give her all the awards on this Earth. I loved it so much.
