BAXTER, VERA BAXTER
Dir. Marguerite Duras, 1977.
France. 91 min.
The masterful Marguerite Duras takes a concept ripe for portentous melodrama slimy Gerard Depardieu sells his wife (Claudine Gabay) to erase a debt and minimizes it, radicalizes it, and chills it into droll satire with an enrapturing cadence. Seyrig plays an unknown woman who is inexplicably drawn to Gabays Vera when she hears her name. She gradually interrogates Vera, and their conversation becomes entangled with Carlos dAlessios omnipresent, repetitive score. Duras film is an exhausting, rewarding experience, and truly one of a kind.
