Bajo la arena

Cada verano, Jean y Marie se van de vacaciones a la región costera de las Landas, en el oeste de Francia. Sin embargo, este año, mientras Marie duerme en la playa, Jean desaparece. ¿Se ahogó? ¿Huyó? Marie se enfrenta sola al enigma de la desaparición del hombre de su vida.

[...] "Ozon capta la realidad de Marie y como se ve afectada su cotidianeidad a partir de los pequeños detalles. En su ir y venir en la vida diaria, el director subraya los cambios en la mujer y como éstos implican que la soledad se introduzca lentamente a pesar de la negación psicológica de la muerte y de aferrarse a la condición de desaparecido de su cónyuge."

Under the Sand

Marie, a professor of English literature in a Paris university, has been happily married to Jean for 25 years, although they have no children. During their summer vacations in the southwest of France, Jean leaves Marie sunbathing on the beach and goes to swim in the sea. When Marie turns back, she cannot find Jean. Has he left her? commited suicide? drowned? With no clue and no body to mourn over, Marie acts as her husband was still alive.

{...} Charlotte Rampling displays fascinating vitality playing a woman intent on denying death in her life. She gives an impressive portrayal of Marie’s inner transition, as the character has less and less strength to deny the truth, while gaining the capacity to mourn. In Sous le sable, Charlotte Rampling fully owns the type of role she would go on to play for many years – of an independent, self-confident, sexually attractive, active woman. If Il portiere di notte was the defining role of Rampling’s early career, then Sous le sable can be considered the cusp to its second act.
