Martha…Martha

Directed by Sandrine Veysset

The director of WILL IT SNOW FOR CHRISTMAS? returns with a similarly uncompromising portrait of a family under extreme pressure. Martha is a volatile young woman prone to periods of depression. Her loyal partner steadfastly supports her but is clearly concerned that she may harm their young daughter. Moving performances and a finely honed script earned the film the Critic’s Award at the 2001 Cannes Director’s Fortnight. Print courtesy of Flach Pyramide International
