Bernadette
We love the tart part of it
Apple pie making at its best: A charming, although obsessive-compulsive character, Bernadette is faced with a mundane task which spirals into a touchingly futile struggle against chaos.
Combed and dressed in the manner of a housewife, “Bernadette” oscillates between restrained sequences danced around the preparation of a cake and violent falls that undo what has been designed in an apparent mastery. The viewer witnesses a struggle between order and chaos, convenances and animal instinct, driven by a music that emphasizes the opposition. Bernadette gradually peels off her civilized attributes and confronts with determination her innermost fears.
