In the Shadow of Women (2015) Philippe Garrel - Movie Review

In the Shadow of Women tells the intimate story of a struggling documentary filmmaker named Pierre, busy working on a film about a man who fought for the French resistance against the Nazi occupation during World War II, something that hits close to home for him, as his father had also fought but never bothered to share the details before his recent passing. Pierre's wife Manon is always there for him, in his work and at home, but the suddenly sullen husband decides to find some breathing room by engaging in a fling with Elisabeth, a younger woman who interns at the film archives.  Pierre thinks that, being the man, it's in his nature to fool around, but Manon has a secret of her own, which changes his perspective on things in a way he finds difficult to resolve.
