Balzac: A Life Of Passion
Director of Photography
Biografía del escritor francés Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850), centrada, sobre todo, en su relación con las mujeres. A pesar de sus rudos modales, ajenos a cualquier sofisticación, y de su poco agraciado aspecto físico, Balzac ejerció una irresistible fascinación sobre ellas. No obstante, sólo dos mujeres fueron realmente importantes en su vida: su madre Charlotte, una mujer fría, manipuladora y autoritaria, que nunca le dio el amor que necesitaba; y la bella y encantadora Eva Hansa, a la que Balzac siguió por Suiza, Alemania y Rusia en una cruzada sin tregua para ganar su corazón.
Antonia
Director of Photography
En una tranquila granja de la campiña holandesa, la nonagenaria Antonia repasa su vida. Tranquilamente acostada en su cama, hace memoria hasta el día, poco después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, en que volvió al pueblo en el que nació. A partir de ahí, recuerda su vida durante los cincuenta años siguientes, así como la de sus hijos y nietos. Un día tras otro, el comportamiento independiente, inconsciente y algo excéntrico de Antonia y su familia, y en especial su lucha por el feminismo, se mezcla con la vida cotidiana del pueblo en que viven. La vieja granja se convierte en el hogar de personajes muy variados en los que el resentimiento inicial se convierte en tolerancia y, posteriormente, en amor.
