Interesting films about women of a certain age are few and far between, but the intriguing VILLA AMALIA is just such a film.
Adapted from the acclaimed novel by Pascal Quignard the film centres on a tantalisingly elusive and enthralling performance by Isabelle Huppert.
Witnessing her partner passionately embracing another woman, Ann sets her affairs in order and erases all traces of her Parisian life as a concert pianist.
With no idea of where her future lies she follows her whims and surrenders herself to intoxicating possibilities on a voyage around Europe.
In trying to lose herself she begins to discover herself in her self-imposed exile.
What emerges through the luminously photographed film is an existential and passionate drama, an affecting study of solitude, self-discovery and the nature of identity.
