Maddened by His Absence

CANNES 2012 HIGHLIGHT: Sandrine Bonnaire's Maddened by His Absence (Luxembourg, 2012) - A tale of inconsolable grief sensitively told from a bizarre angle, Maddened By His Absence (J’enrage de son absence) is carried beautifully by a downright haunted William Hurt. If ever a character fit the description “There’s method in his madness,” Hurt’s Franco-American Jacques, who returns from Boston to Paris to settle several layers of family business, is it.
