Far from the psychological thriller that would fix an evil immanent to human existence, the director from Marseilles takes a tender look at the human being, almost in love with forgiveness in the face of his own contradictions. Acts as reprehensible as jealousy, deceit or the desire to murder are stripped of their seriousness, and become part of the pile-up of inevitable vicissitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mouret, or the director of sentiment<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Intelligent romance and its satellites have become her trademark, notably in <em>Mademoiselle de Joncqui\u00e8res<\/em> (2018), a romantic drama set in the 18th century<sup>th<\/sup> and his first film in costume, in which the Marquis des Arcis (Edouard Baer) and Madame de la Pommeraye (C\u00e9cile de France) have an ambivalent relationship and engage in some of the most delightful verbal jousting. Another landmark film in his filmography, <em>The Art of Loving<\/em> (2011), whose title could serve as a banner for his cause, and which features a sentimental and burlesque tumult where characters cross paths, meet and also collide.

Certainly, the characters have all the characteristics to deserve this label: bourgeois, navigating between their provincial home and the glossy parquet floor of their Parisian apartment, using their time to rant more about their sentimentality than their non-existent financial problems. Nevertheless, the film's universal appeal lies in the filmmaker's desire to illustrate Ren\u00e9 Girard's theory of mimetic desire through the characters' behavior. This theory, according to which human beings always desire as a function of the Other's desire, takes on the role of puppeteer, pulling the protagonists' strings to their great misfortune. They become the playthings of their own sensations, their own bodies and their own desires. While La Bruy\u00e8re wrote that there's a sense of freedom in following one's whims, there's also a downside: infidelities, lies, murderous desires, grief and cruelty become inescapable events. Far from being Hitchcockian characters with enigmatic psychological profiles, their good faith is almost touching. Maxime (Niels Schneider) and Daphn\u00e9 (Cam\u00e9lia Jordana) are kind, humble, shy and awkward in their gestures and speech, and they share their stories with each other, creating a directly familiar, authentic atmosphere that's easy to identify with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Read also | <a data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/cinema\/quand-xavier-dolan-badine-avec-lamour\/\" href=\"https:\/\/leregardlibre.com\/en\/cinema\/when-xavier-dolan-plays-with-love\/\">When Xavier Dolan plays with love<\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>Through realistic acting and warm lighting, we're invited to get up close and personal to the intimacies revealed, to listen to the hesitant dialogues about sentimentality, and to witness the human weaknesses in the face of the\u2019<em>Eros<\/em>.

Cinematography, music and dialogue are all carefully crafted. Sequence shots in the dialogue scenes create space and fluidity, and a certain realism that immerses the viewer in the intimacy of the dialogues. But this \u00abrealism\u00bb is softened by shots in very sober, autumnal colors, closely resembling Impressionist paintings. A pleasure for the eyes, in short. But the ears are not left out: Chopin, Debussy, some of the big names in Romantic music, cover the scenes with a lyricism and lightness, accentuated by dialogues spoken in sustained French. If in <em>Mademoiselle de Joncqui\u00e8res<\/em>, While this choice may be understandable given the era, it can be disconcerting at first glance in this feature-length film, as it is out of step with its contemporary setting.
