Directed by Philippe Garrel
Starring Logann Antuofermo, Oulaya Amamra, André Wilms
Philippe Garrel’s typically French take on toxic masculinity places one handsome young cad amid three vulnerable women, mixes in a heady dose of narcissism and sprinkles in some de rigueur male compartmentalization. Photographed in black-and-white, THE SALT OF TEARS shares much of the sensibility of François Truffaut’s early romantic adventures starring the insufferable (and insufferably adorable) Antoine Doinel. Impulsive and rakish, Luc (played by newcomer Logann Antuofermo) is in Paris only briefly to become certified as a cabinetmaker – but long enough to ensorcel a beautiful young woman he picks up at a bus stop. Soon he’s juggling three relationships, but really only one – with his own ego. (Film Forum)
