France / 119 min / WATCH THE TRAILER
Films set at any point in that vast stretch of time that we call “history” tend to seem all the more irreducibly distant from us. That’s why it seems so miraculous that Stéphane Brizé’s A Woman’s Life, set in 19th-century France, feels very much as if it’s happening in the present tense. Here’s a rare period drama that contrives to minimize the gap between its events and our experience of watching them. –Film Comment
