Hold Me Tight
Mathieu Amalric’s most ambitious directorial effort to date is a virtuosic, daringly fluid portrait of one woman’s fractured psyche, featuring a riveting performance from Vicky Krieps as a wife and mother on the run from her family for mysterious reasons.
Ends September 29!
Vicky Krieps (Phantom Thread, Bergman Island) gives another riveting performance as Clarisse, a woman on the run from her family for reasons that aren’t immediately clear. Widely renowned as an actor but less well-known here for his equally impressive work behind the camera, Mathieu Amalric’s sixth feature directorial outing—his most ambitious to date—is a virtuosic, daringly fluid portrait of one woman’s fractured psyche. Alternating between Clarisse’s adventures on the road and her abandoned husband Marc (Arieh Worthalter) as he struggles to take care of their children at home, Amalric’s film keeps viewers uncertain as to the reality of what they’re seeing until the final moments of this richly rewarding, moving, and unpredictable portrait of grief. A 2022 Rendez-Vous with French Cinema selection. A Kino Lorber release.
