 Set in the lower echelons of 1860s Paris, Therese Raquin, a sexually repressed beautiful young woman, is trapped into a loveless marriage to her sickly cousin, Camille, by her domineering aunt, Madame Raquin. Therese spends her days confined behind the counter of a small shop and her evenings watching Madame play dominoes with an eclectic group. After she meets her husband's alluring friend, Laurent, she embarks on an illicit affair that leads to tragic consequences. Director:Charlie Stratton | |
The Buzz: Screenwriter Charlie Stratton has directed Emile Zola's 19th Century novel Therese Raquin for the stage, and now he makes his feature film directorial debut with a neo-noir spin on the material and an incredibly able cast to serve up the lusty, greedy, impulsive themes. Stratton seems to be heavily influenced by writers and visual artists, so our interest is high and we sensing serious art-house potential here.
