Actriz the good wife

The wife ending explained

We’ll have to see if she succeeds in making an idea that has worked on some occasions, but that is by no means infallible -the case most remembered by many is that of Lauren Bacall, who had to stay in her seat when Juliette Binoche’s name was read out. There will be time to talk about it, but what should matter to us now is that Close is excellent in a film that relies on its two protagonists -especially her-, perhaps too much.

‘The Good Wife’ is a film that sits on a lie and the lengths to which its two makers are willing to take it. However, it’s not something that this adaptation of Meg Wolitzer’s novel poses head-on, preferring to see how the events of the past affect the present of Joan, the character played by Close, something that translates into the possibility of a much more nuanced performance that she makes the most of to perfection.

The problem is that these negative consequences also have a downside: the flashbacks never quite work as well and feel like they’re dragging out a revelation that the viewer sees coming too soon. In addition, they also lack Close, which causes another drop in interest. To be fair, there’s nothing in the flashbacks that’s annoying, but it does feel more conventional, taking the shine off the film.

An ironic French comedy entitled The Good Wife’s Handbook has just been released. It is directed by Martin Provost (Séraphine, Two Women) and stars Juliette Binoche, who shows her most comic profile, which is rare in her filmography. The cast also includes the director’s favorite actress, Yolande Moreau (star of Séraphine), veteran François Berleand (The Choirboys, Transporter) and Noémie Lvovsky (The Summer House, A Village and Its King).

Tailor-made scripts. The director likes to work with actresses he knows and, in fact, he writes the scripts with them in mind. This was the case with Yolande Moreau in Seraphine, Catherine Deneuve and Catherine Frot in Two Women or, now, Juliette Binoche. He assures that he likes to write about women because he empathizes with them and, thus, expresses that feminine part of him.

-Laughing with Juliette. In the specific case of Binoche, Provost highlights her ability to combine the dramatic charge with comedy (a genre she has not frequented much) in a wonderful way and without falling into the grotesque.

Crooked house

Glenn Close gives us a restrained, loving and often submissive character who, despite the circumstances, remains firm and by the side of the man she fell in love with in her youth, although he had a previous marital life. With some jumps in time that show us the past of these two, the plot detonates when he, a successful writer, is announced that he will receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in Sweden.

Close’s work is consolidated thanks to the teamwork he does with Pryce and is pushed to the limit by a third party, curiously a journalist, played by Christian Slater, who investigates some data, as he tries to make the authorized biography of the writer in question.

The Good Wife is an interesting option in our country’s billboard and, without revealing too much, it is inevitable not to think of Big Eyes, a film directed by Tim Burton in 2014 with Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz.

The good wife’s guide analysis

2021 arrives loaded with good and numerous movie premieres. So if you don’t have a plan yet to enjoy the afternoon of Epiphany, and you don’t feel like staying at home, we suggest Juliette Binoche’s return to the big screen, The Good Wife’s Handbook. A film directed by Martin Provost – director of Two Women and Séraphine – that can already be enjoyed in theaters in our country.

Starring, in addition to the Oscar-winning actress, Yolande Moreau, Noémi Lvovsky and Edouard Baer, Manual of the Good Wife is about a school for housewives run by Paulette Van Der Beck (character played by Juliette Binoche) and her husband, in which they train teenagers to become perfect wives. However, with the sudden death of her husband and the arrival of May ’68, Paulette begins to question her beliefs and joins forces with her students to become liberated women.

French director Martin Provost reconstructs in this feature film “the not so distant past” of the courses that were taught in France for women to become perfect spouses, according to José Oliva in EFE.
