Adapted from the novel Une vie by Guy de Maupassant, "A Woman's Life" is a tale of tormented love embedded in the restrictive social and moral codes of marriage and family in 19th century Normandy. Upon finishing her schooling in a convent, young aristocrat Jeanne (Judith Chemla) marries local Viscount Julien de Lamare (Swann Arlaud), who soon reveals himself to be a miserly and unfaithful husband. As she navigates his chronic infidelity, pressure from her family and community, and the alternating joys and burdens of motherhood, Jeanne's rosy illusions about her privileged world are slowly stripped away.

A moving, beautifully modulated adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s novel, in which a young noblewoman copes with the loss of ideals.

Its images and scenes are suffused by an intensity that seems almost to be a quality of the light and air as they play across Ms. Chemla’s watchful, sometimes inscrutable features.

It’s not the first time Maupassant’s book has been brought to the screen (in 1958, Cahiers du Cinema critic Alexandre Astruc made the first stab at it) and it’s undoubtedly a story with plenty to say about a woman’s struggle at the time. However, while the viewer might appreciate Brizé’s lack of compromise, for such a stoic and rather long period piece, A Woman’s Life offers little else for the audience to cling on to.

You’ll need a high tolerance for misery to endure the dour A Woman’s Life.

The choice of low-grade, handheld digital images reduces the film to the clichés of revisionist literary filmmaking.
