Among the least known filmmakers in the comp, the cinema of Jeanne Herry usually focuses on themes of care, custody and institutional responsibility, emotional repair and human connection, and looking at the construction of truth. Garance aka One Another Day is a France-Belgian co-production starring Adèle Exarchopoulos in the titular role. Her films to date include Elle l’adore (2014) – a Directors’ Fortnight selection, Pupille (2018) and All Your Faces (2023). This is story of Garance – a young actress but not a star. She manages things as best she can, finding fuel and comfort in alcohol. As she embarks for an eight-year journey of life changes, she drinks more and more. Until death seems to loom. This is competition film #11 of 22.
The second of three offerings today, and the second of four French filmmakers in the line-up, Garance didn’t pull in satisfying grades but the talk of the town is that Adèle Exarchopoulos offers quite the performance. So far we have an average grade of 2.5
