Marie Kreutzer's Corsage, a period film that felt completely modern, is a feminist classic. So there is a lot of excitement for Gentle Monster, starring French acting royalty Léa Seydoux and Catherine Deneuve, in a tale of two women, two very different lives, one shared predicament: men with secrets they'd rather not share. A pianist who sacrificed her career for a rural fresh start. A detective burning out while her father fades away. What unites them is a creeping, awful clarity. Brace yourself.
