Memoir of Pain

1994. Nazi Germany occupies France. The writer Robert Antelme, a major figure in the French Resistance, is arrested and sent to the camps. His young wife, Marguerite, a writer and member of the Resistance herself, is torn between anxiety at not knowing her husband's fate and a secret liaison. Suffering with the unbearable pain of waiting, Marguerite develops a chilling relationship with local Vichy collaborator.

Emmanuel Finkiel, whose grandparents were deported in 1942, adapts the novel by Marguerite Duras and touches with great sensitivity on love, memories and pain.

Filmography: A Decent Man (2015), Voyages (1999).
