I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE SEA
24 October 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Dany (Freya Mavor) is a mousy secretary, "thin with flaming red hair" who gets to work some overtime at her boss' house doing some typing (Pre-computer era). He (Benjamin Biolay) leaves with his wife (Stacy Martin) and Dany gets to drive his Thunderbird and opts to take the long way home. On her journey she encounters people who claim she was there the night or day before. This is very confusing for a girl that talks to herself, bending the audience to a MPD explanation.

The confusion that Dany felt, I felt too which appears to be the intent of the director. There were times Dany had a broken glass lens and other times not. I couldn't figure out if this was a clue or film screw up. The film was arty and aloof. It wasn't for me, but it seems to have a large audience. I did not enjoy this confusing thriller like the people who have read the book or seen the older version.

French with English subtitles.

Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Freya Mavor, Stacy Martin)
