**Warning: spoiler possible** I just saw the film this morning at a press viewing.
This film is wonderful. I don't know where to start really. The story is taking place in a little city in Belgium or north of France during the Second World War (I believe). Elisa, the wife of Gilles, spends her day taking care of the house and the children. She is waiting for her husband to come home. One day, she suspects her sister and Gilles to have an affair.
The mastering of Frédéric Fonteyne is amazing. This story, yet simple, is beautifully written (with pal Philippe Blasband) and directed. Frédéric has such a great ability to show simple things with such great emotion. The acting of Emmanuelle Devos is stunning. The photography is absolutely amazing. One should see the film in theater!
I had the chance to see the movie before reading anything about it. If you like raw and subtle human emotions and are not afraid of slow-paced films, just run to see 'La femme de Gilles' before getting the story spoiled by an article. You won't be disappointed.
