La Fille du RER (The girl on the train)
(2009)
Jeanne and Franck meet Breathless cute, on rollerblades, and while we, and her mother (Catherine Deneuve) suspect there's something not quite on the up & up with him, Jeanne doesn't want to know. So when the inevitable occurs, she concocts a half-baked story about being the victim of an anti-Semitic attack (though she's not Jewish) on the Paris suburban transit. Why? For love, for attention, for control over her own narrative.A weirdly engaging story, quintessentially French in its messily intersecting plotlines and its contempt for easy moral stances.
