Actresses Series: The 45th New York Film Festival [Sep 28 - Oct 14 2007] Director: Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi, Country: France, Release: 2007, Runtime: 107 In her second directorial outing, Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi strikes a beautiful balance between feminine longing and judicious self-deflation. Her Marcelline is a radiant presence on stage, and in real life a guarded, single 40-year-old yearning for a child and a lover. Set against rehearsals for a production of Turgenev’s A Month in the Country, with Mathieu Amalric as the egotistical director, a smoldering Louis Garrel as the young, manly costar, and Bruni-Tedeschi’s writing collaborator Noémie Lvovsky as a contrasting woman of appetites straddled with a husband and kids, Actresses is delightfully personal, offbeat, uproariously funny and true to its own female rhythms.
