L'attachement

Valeria Bruni Tedeschi is amazing, so different each time, so deep and delicate is her acting. This time, in L'attachement she is Sandra, a quiet neighbor who lives alone, and it is with her eyes that we see what happens to the family behind the opposite door. From being a mere observer, she becomes involved with the family and undergoes an interesting transformation: at some point we understand that she wants to become part of this family, which in French is called la famille recomposée. I think the main theme in this beautiful film, so rich in details and curious turns, is that we all need to be part of something regardless of how independent we are or would like to think we are. And life feels easier and more wholesome if we stop fighting this need. Apart from that, many other issues are raised here in funny and serious ways, which makes this film a beautiful gem that you should definitely discover.
