“Under the Sands,” theater, August 17, 2001. Remarkable French film starring Charlotte Rampling about the aftermath of a death/suicide/disappearance. A couple goes to the shore. He is very depressed, she’s in denial. They go to the beach, he says he’s going for a swim and never returns. Her inability to cope, to accept, to come to terms with this tragedy and mystery constitutes the heart of this painful, wonderfully wrought film. It left me thinking about it for weeks afterward. See this one!
