It’s a backhanded compliment to Sundance to see such an emotionally-stunning film as Belgian director Veerle Baetens’, which premiered tonight in the festival’s World Cinema Dramatic Competition, and wonder, right away, why a film of this power won’t be debuting in the official selection at Cannes this year.
Ironically, at least two of those men are recognisable for their influence here, in an intense and uncompromising debut that sets a very high bar for this year’s international arthouse sector.
The most striking achievement of Baetens’ film is that it defies the usual rule of dual-timeline films, which is that one period is usually more interesting the other. It begins with Eva , who, after quarreling with her younger sister for moving out of their shared apartment, receives an online invite to an event celebrating the life of a friend, Jan, who died when she was young.
This is where the title comes from; a reference to a riddle that Eva comes across that she thinks will cement her status as a Musketeer and maybe do more. Those plans are thwarted, though, by a fish-out-of-water rich girl called Elisa, perhaps the most synthetic of all these otherwise flesh-and-blood, real-world characters .
