The story was beautiful on paper, and the casting attractive. It's about a love affair during the Liberation between Madeleine(Anaïs Demoustier) and François(Vincent Lacoste), both of whom carry an intimate secret. But Katell Quillévéré 's new feature, Le temps d'aimer, due in cinemas November 29, misses the mark in both form and content.
The French director, who opened Critics' Week in 2013 with her luminous Suzanne, doesn't allow herself much formal research, preferring a staging of great classicism. After the first black-and-white scene (very successful), in which a mob eager for revenge shears, humiliates, beats and exposes the "cowards " who have dared to sleep with the enemy, all that's left is to sit back and watch this strange, secret-ridden love story - heavily melodramatic in its last half-hour - which is hard to get into, both because of the risk-free direction and the lack of chemistry between the two lovebirds, who are dressed up in a few wrinkles and white hairs to represent the passage of time.
