I do love a bit of French cinema and this didn’t dissapoint.
Julien and Lisa are at home with their young son Oscar when the police storm the apartment and arrest Lisa for the brutal murder of her boss. Three years later the Lisa loses an appeal and is facing 20 years in prison, losing the will to live she stops taking her insulin and is slowly killing herself. Julien cannot bear to have his wife in prison but to what lengths will he go to see her free?
Vincent Lindon is excellent as the tortured Julien, he looks a bit bloodhoundish but is totally believeable as a normal guy forced to do something extreme.
8/10
One response to “Anything for Her (Pour elle)”
Sounds pretty good, perhaps I’ll re-subscribe to Lovefilm and make sure that Wednesday is film night!
Cheers Shauny boy
