Les Destinees Sentimentales

Aroview: Genteel family saga from the trilogy of novels by Jacques Chardonne that follows the destiny of pastor Charles Berling through the first decades of the 20th century. Divorcing his wife (Isabelle Huppert) to take over the family porcelain factory in Limoges with Emmanuelle Beart, he is kept perpetually alive to the consequences of his chosen fate. Gracefully shot, with interesting details of the porcelain-manufacturing process.
