Saturday Netflix & chill - Lauriane Pipoz<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may have already heard of Marriage Story<\/em>available on the Netflix platform since the beginning of December after a short theatrical run, the latest film by Noah Baumbach, the companion of Greta Gerwig<\/a>, has been nominated at the 2020 Golden Globes. A godsend for a Netflix film, a platform that was shunned at the awards a year ago. An original review of this film? Hard to do, so much has been said - and well. But let's take up the challenge! In my opinion, one subject deserves special treatment: the director's talent for telling the story of a love that no longer exists.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Marriage Story<\/em> is the story of a union that is no longer a union. After many years together and a child, Nicole (Scarlett Johansson) and Charlie (Adam Driver) are splitting up. Because they don't want the same things anymore. Despite what Charlie said when they decided to divorce:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00abWe want the same things.\u00bb<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The main problem? Nicole no longer agrees with following Charlie's advice: she, who never knew what she wanted, suddenly decides to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noah Baumbach is no stranger to the theme of separation. Divorced himself, he draws on his own past and the experiences of those around him to write his films. The problem is that, to make a separation poignant on screen, the first thing to do is to show the love a couple once had. The most instinctive way of doing this is undoubtedly the flashback<\/em>. In fact, the director makes good use of it for a few minutes at the beginning of the film: the husband and wife explain in voice-over off<\/em> what qualities they most appreciate in each other, illustrated by touching anecdotes from everyday life. This vibrant excerpt is also featured in the trailer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
