MOVIE REVIEW: Stunning French tale of a woman seeking an abortion is depressingly timely.
could not be more fortuitous. This award-winning French film details the personal journey of a young university student in 1963 who seeks to end her unwanted pregnancy. Abortion was illegal in France in 1963, just as it was in the United States at that same point in time nearly 60 years ago.
Resourceful Anne turns to medical books in the library before taking her mother’s knitting needles and attempting to self-induce. A second doctor tells her to accept her fate because she has no choice. The whispering grapevine eventually yields the phone number of an illegal abortionist, and we go through that cheerless experience with Anne. Meanwhile, the passage of time is marked on the screen as each successive week slips by. It’s the inexorable ticking of another kind of biological clock.
