La Palombière
1983 Drama / Romance

Review
After viewing Jean Pierre Denis’ striking début work, Histoire d’Adrien,
which won the Caméra d’or award at Cannes in 1980, La Palombière
is something of a disappointment. Whilst the photography captures the cold bleakness
and poetic austerity of its Provençal setting, its dull characterisation, sparse
narrative and sense of detachment make it a hard film to engage with.
