Another Life - 2001 - 5/10

Edith is wowed and wooed by shipping agent Percy.
He dodges Great War duty by feigning injury, does she care?
By the 1920’s their marriage soured, 27-year-old Edith meets the 18-year-old Frederick.
Our couple launch a torrid affair, heightened by her wild romantic fantasies.
The upshot? Murder most foul.
What ought to be a murder mystery is overblown kitsch.
Perhaps the director was trying to show Edith’s addled mental state.
He failed. Angel (2007) carried that off better, although many disliked Ozon’s film, too.
Based on Edith Thompson, whose real story is more compelling.
