Errance

Errance

av Damien Odoul

While Lou (played by supermodel Laetitia Casta) is going through a delivery, resulting in a Caesarian section, her husband Jacques (Benoit Magimel, The Piano Teacher, 2001) is away drinking, having an affair with a bar waitress. Lou soon finds out. The decide to start over, and move away from the city to a small community off the coast. While Lou is taking care of their son, Jacques continues to constantly make the wrong decisions, getting hooked up with all sorts of bad company. As his drinking accelerates, their relation increasingly deteriorates.
Set in the late 60's and early 70's, Errance is so true to form that it is easy to get fooled into thinking you are in fact
watching a classic from that very golden era. By borrowing certain elements of absurdism, the parallells to some of Jean-Luc Godard's finest work (Breathless, 1961, Pierrot Ie fou, 1965) are unavoidable, but director Damien Odoul is by no means a plain copycat. Explosive, poetic and occasionally disturbing - Errance is the craft of a master in the making. Displaying a true sensitivity to the arts, Odoul is one of the brightest shining names in modern French cinema.
