La Gueule Ouverte Blu-ray Movie
The Mouth Agape
Cohen Media Group | 1974 | 82 min | Not rated | No Release Date | Jeffrey Kauffman
Monique Mélinand portrays a woman in the late stages of terminal illness. She — and her prone body — become the locus around which gather her son Philippe (Philippe Léotard), his wife Nathalie (Nathalie Baye), and Monique’s husband Roger (Hubert Deschamps). In short order, Monique recedes into the background of Philippe’s and Roger’s network of respective adulteries. But as the final, crushingly eloquent succession of shots starts to unreel, we are once more reminded that, in the work of Maurice Pialat, that which seems absent ultimately makes its presence felt with terrible force.
