Alice Winocour
Revoir Paris is not an easy film to watch, but the emotional journey is a gratifying one.
Cannes Film Festival 2022: Alice Winocour’s PARIS MEMORIES is a Mature Study of Violence and Healing
Paris Memories was the final film I saw at the fest and in its quiet, assured way, was one of the most satisfying.
With Proxima, Winocour has left an indelible mark on cinematic space travel, by viewing it through a feminist lens and placing more emphasis on earth.
With beautiful direction and cinematography, a haunting score, and excellent acting by Eva Green in particular, Proxima is a solemn, slow meditation on motherhood.
Post-traumatic stress disorder – abbreviated as PTSD – has been a subject in film as far back as the 1946 John Huston documentary Let There Be Light. Since the Invasion of Iraq, it’s become a prevalent concept. One of the most original to have been made is Martin Scorsese’s 1976 classic Taxi Driver.
