The first narrative function helmed by a lady in Quebec is getting a Fiftieth-anniversary restoration and making its U.S. premiere. Mireille Dansereau’s “Dream Life” (“La vie rêvée”), the story of two younger ladies who turn out to be pals after assembly at a Montreal movie manufacturing firm, opens at New York City’s Metrograph November 4.
“All women are interested in is their feelings and their crotch,” we’re advised in a brand new trailer for pic. In a snippet of one other scene, a person cat-calling the ladies makes use of the phrase “whore” when his advances are ignored. The French-Canadian drama follows Isabelle (Liliane Lemaître-Auger) and Virginie (Véronique Le Flaguais), who share “their romantic fantasies and disillusions, and [set] out together to conduct a sort of field study in desire,” the movie’s synopsis particulars. One of the ladies falls for a married man. “I hardly know him,” she admits. “It’s insane. I know.”
“Dream Life” was initially launched in 1972.
Dansereau’s different credit embrace 1979’s “Heart Break” (“L’Arrache-coeur”) and 1987’s “Deaf to the City” (“Le Sourd dans la ville”).
