In the Shadow of Women

AroView: Romantic drama from Philippe Garrel, a prolific French auteur whose work is rarely available outside of France and often deals with the subject of relationships and infidelity. Filmed in black-and-white, this one tells the story of a couple who make low-budget documentaries and live off odd jobs, but whose relationship is tested with the arrival of a young trainee.

“A tightly focused romantic drama that exudes the narrative terseness of a good short story and the lucid craftsmanship of a filmmaker in full command of the medium.” ~ Variety.
