Bruce says: “Filmed in black and white reminiscent of the 1960s, Philippe Garrel’s IN THE SHADOW OF WOMEN follows the dissolution of a marriage. Both husband and wife are having extra-marital affairs although they are happily married and deeply in love. ‘How terribly French,’ one might say. Even in France such arrangements cannot last. Beautifully filmed and acted particularly by the ill-fated couple, Stanislas Merhar and Clotilde Courau. 3.5 cats”
