Julie (in 12 chapters), woman of the 2020s

CRITICAL - Norwegian Joachim Trier follows the amorous peregrinations of an indecisive young woman. Seductive and melancholy.


Cannes still has (good) surprises in store.

We would not have thought to smile at the vision of a film by Joachim Trier, even if the Norwegian filmmaker had imagined in a previous feature film (

Louder than Bombs - Back Home

) Isabelle Huppert as a war photographer.

From

Oslo August 31

, story of the last day of a former drug addict before his relapse, his cinema hardly exudes the happiness of living.

In

Julie (in 12 chapters)

, the tone is more joyful.

This is due in particular to its heroine, played by the excellent Renate Reinsve, a sweet mix of Natalie Portman and Anaïs Demoustier.

An alert prologue (voiceover, lively editing) shows the young woman hesitating between several paths (surgery, psychology, photography) and several men.

At almost 30, she finally worked in a bookstore and met love in the person of Aksel (Anders Danielsen Lie), author of underground comics.

He is 45 years old and desires to be a child.

Not her, but they don't really make it a point of contention.
