The Girl on the Train English Film Synopsis :
Jobless, soul-searching and rollerblading Jeanne (Rosetta’s Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Winner Emilie Dequenne) lives in a Paris suburb with her widowed mother Louise (Deneuve), who makes a living as a baby-sitter. Louise helps her daughter get a job with her old flame Samuel Bleistein (Michel Blanc, Monsieur Hire, Grosse Fatigue), now a famous lawyer and Jewish activist.
When Jeanne’s budding relationship with aspiring wrestler Franck (Nicolas Devauchelle) is shattered by a violent turn of events, Jeanne and Bleistein’s opposite worlds get set on a collision course, as the film becomes a complex psychological drama raising issues of race, religion and identity. Based on the play by Jean-Marie Besset.
A drama centered on a young woman who claims she was the target of an anti-Semetic attack and the subsequent media sensation it creates.
The Girl on the Train English Movie Review :
PARIS -- Andre Techine's many admirers will not be disappointed by his latest offering, "The Girl on the Train," but they might be hard-pressed to define it.
Ostensibly the movie is, in the words of one of the main characters, "the story of a lie," but as always with this director, the pleasures reside in the fine detail rather than the broad sweep. Art house audiences will be well rewarded. The film plays in April at the annual City of Lights, City of Angels French film festival in Los Angeles.
Techine's starting point is a true story that raised a storm in France five years ago when a young woman announced that she had been the victim of an anti-Semitic attack on a Paris suburban train,
Creating a media uproar that drew in even the head of state, only for the affair to be revealed as a fabrication.
A first-rate cast is set on this -- at first sight -- unpromising material, with Emilie Dequenne as the girl, here named Jeanne; Catherine Deneuve as her workaday mother, Louise; and Michel Blanc as the successful lawyer Bleistein, a former flame of Louise with whom Jeanne seeks employment.
The movie is divided into two halves, entitled "Circumstances" and "Consequences," though this is misleading because the movie is anything but schematic. The first half deals mainly with a burgeoning love affair between Jeanne and Franck (Nicolas Duvauchelle), a would-be professional wrestler, while in the second we are drawn more into Bleistein's world and that of his son Alex (Mathieu Demy) and fearsome daughter-in-law Judith (Ronit Elkabetz).
