Saint Omer (2022)
ridiculous
The myth of Medea lived on for many centuries. Throughout history many of the great thinkers of humanity have returned to this captivating myth of Medea. Psychoanalysts have also used it to elaborate interesting theories. The setting of the film is a courthouse and this is the main issue, pulling the focus away from our "Medea" and towards society (represented by judge, lawyers, etc). From then on everything falls apart. How society reacts to a "Medea" is not worth making a film about. It is concerning that it gets so many rewards and that it was France's submission to the Oscars. At the Oscar's it made the shortlist too! Wow... Unbelievable. It was so boring and pointless . The judge is not concerned about facts of the trial, rather she is very interested to learn about feelings of the accused. My wife was just as bored and annoyed as I was. There is no plot, no aesthetic value, acting is dull, nothing stands out.
