Well Made
A very slow film for a very fast summer
The new Céline Sciamma runs 148 minutes and hardly moves. That is the point.
By Ines Marchetti 6 min readPage 12
There is a shot in the second act that lasts four minutes and forty seconds. A woman sits at a kitchen table. She peels an orange. She looks up. She peels another. In a summer of films that shout, this one whispers, and it turns out most of us are ready to listen.
"It is the film equivalent of drinking a full glass of water."
