Claudio C Thérèse Desqueyroux (2012) Cold and Strange French Romance (12,070 – 18 Nov 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In 1922, Thérèse Larroque (Audrey Tautou) and Annete "Anne" de la Trave (Anaïs Demoustier) are best friends, and their wealthy families are owners of two connected pine forests. In 1926, the free-spirited Thérèse marries Anne’s brother Bernard Desqueyroux (Gilles Lellouche) in a convenience marriage to increase the properties of the families. Meanwhile, Anne falls in love with the Portuguese Jean Azevedo (Stanley Weber) and the pregnant Thérèse is assigned by the family to end their relationship since Azevedo is broken. In 1928, Bernard is prescribed with four drops of arsenic per day, and Thérèse uses the arsenic to poison her husband. Bernard survives, and the life of Thérèse becomes gell on earth. "Thérèse Desqueyroux" (2012) is a cold and strange French romance by Claude Miller. The story is not attractive, and Audrey Tautou is weird in the role of Thérèse Desqueyroux. There is no explanation why Thérèse tries to kill her husband. The actors and actresses have cold performances, and the plot is boring and unpleasant. My vote is five. Title (Brazil): "Therese D" My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/18/25 Full Review Audience Member I just don't get that hatred. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A unsentimental view of a woman's life, either good nor evil. A "sifting agent" of the people and events around her. Beautifully filmed. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a surprisingly unexpected and nuanced study of a woman. I had guessed the arch of the story wrong several times as it clearly does not follow the usual conventional film script. Instead of the sharp delineation of good vs. evil, crime vs. punishment, this is about cruelty and charity in unlikely places. In the end, it is still an optimistic view of human condition: we all have capacity to learn, learn to forgive and move on. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Immensely engaging but palpably slow saga about a person's unraveling journey through an empty marriage. Audrey Tautou carries this story along through amazing acting. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member A wonderfully shot, emotive feature which suffers due to the fact it harbours a plot so thin it almost evaporates completely midway through.
