Emmanuel Finkiel's haunting and hypnotic adaptation of seminal author Marguerite Duras's autobiographical novel 'The War: A Memoir.' In 1944 Nazi-occupied France, Marguerite Duras (Mlanie Thierry) is an active Resistance member along with her husband Robert Antelme. Without erasing the shadow of the war, Memoir of War adopts an interiority and considered view that brings its period to life once more. Throughout, the film acquits itself with a curious blend of material urgency and emotional ambivalence, evoking DurasвЂ™s films and those of Alain Resnais (whose seminal first film Hiroshima, Mon Amour was written by Duras) in its extensive use of fragmented voiceover taken from the supposed diaries. The film draws from her 1985 semi-autobiographical work La Douleur, which may or may not have been taken from her own diaries written during the end and immediate aftermath of WWII, and principally chronicles her interactions with multiple factions in Vichy France in an effort to liberate her husband, Resistance member Robert Antelme, from Nazi imprisonment. With his film Memoir of War, director Emmanuel Finkiel has found one such avenue: via one of French cultureвЂ™s legends, novelist - and great director in her own right - Marguerite Duras (portrayed here by MГ©lanie Thierry).
