Ute Lemper's arrival to the international scene was a small earthquake.
It is common to find cases like yours.

SYNOPSIS
Mia Hansen-Love is a debutant director 27 years, with previous experience as an actress and film criticism.
Perhaps because of all that, is able to highlight the radical nature of such false staging designed exclusively for film festivals.
In Tout est pardonée has over ten years in the life of a couple, an Austrian and French at the beginning of the film have a six year old daughter, but does so based on cartoons and ellipses.
The episodes are choosing to have that, episodes: no condensation of tragedy or joy, no calculations or to the side toward the hyperbolic or lethargy, pure life, that's what's in a narrative whose tone can be described as miraculous taking into account that the components thinning the relationship between Victor and Annette have to do with heroin and adultery.
Nor is conviction in the film (and no conclusion), the director opted to put the camera in the service of the story I wanted to tell, and the sleaze and sensationalism were out.
