I've Loved You For So Long
I've Loved You For So Long is much loved in Vancouver as it was voted most popular film at this years Vancouver international Film Festival. Kristin Scott Thomas is superbly subtle as Juliette Fontaine a withdrawn woman just reunited after 15 years with her saintly sister Lea (Elsa Zylberstein). As the layers of Juliete’s shell are slowly peeled away we discover the reason for the separation, why Lea and her husband, a fertile couple chose to adopt two children and why her husband bears so much hostility towards Juilette, a woman he’s never known. The estrangement was due to a vile act by Juliette unforgivable by anyone she ever knew not to mention the audience. The artistry of I've Loved You For So Long is how the audience as one with the characters gradually come to forgive Juliette.
