Gemma Arterton | Jason Flemyng | Fabrice Luchini | Anne Alvaro
A modern reimagining of Flaubert’s Madame Bovary , following Gemma as she moves to Normandy with her husband — and becomes the obsession of a local baker.
Arterton shines in tragic beauty. Luchini chews scenery as narrator-observer. Tone is poetic, dark, and ironic.
Love doesn’t save — it destroys.
Rating: 6.7/10
