Good Girl (Gentille)
Sophie Fillières, 2005, 102min, 35mm
Starring Emmanuelle Devos, Lambert Wilson, Bruno Todeschini
Wackily magnetic Fontaine (Emmanuelle Devos) is an anesthesiologist with a serious commitment phobia who goes into full panic mode when her boyfriend proposes to her. She and Michel (Bruno Todeschini) seem well-matched, yet her inclination is to aggressively put off answering. Fillières’s third feature exhibited early signs of the playful, sometimes surrealist way with which she approached candid portraits of complex women—here, a capricious one reeling with doubt and repressed desires. It also showed the director’s great taste in actors: Gentille’s supporting cast includes Lambert Wilson as a patient Fontaine fancies, and Bulle Ogier and Michael Lonsdale as her potential parents-in-law.
Preceded by the short Nothing (Rien)
Sophie Fillières, 1987, 5min, DCP
For her second short film, a docu-fiction shot during her studies at La Fémis film school, Fillières explores a curious hole in a pool locker room.
