Rewind

One of the best French films ever was Chabrol's La femme infidele. A middle-class, married couple are threatened when the wife gets involved with a stranger. Now, over forty years later an Irish version of this story gets made. Is it any good? Not really. Lots of Satie-like piano music (far too much), lots of stylish (and out-of-focus) cinematography, 'stretched' scenes that take longer than usual, dull weather, washed-out colours, a big deal made out of the smallest of things, and far too much direction. This is the second of the Catalyst-scheme films to get a release and it's a lot better than Eamon. Reminded me of the terrible Alarm where a Dublin woman (surely Huberman's character would has lost her working-class accent when she 'married up') moves to Kildare? Nothing special though.
