At a wake one night in 1945, a group of aged women recall the life of one of their number. Sixty years before, Thérèse was barely 20 years old when she eloped with her boyfriend, Firmin, a blacksmith, to Châtillon, a town in Provence. Here, she makes the acquaintance of the wealthy Madame Numance, who is known for her good deeds. Realising that Thérèse is pregnant and unemployed, Madame Numance insists that she moves into a house on her estate. Whilst Firmin resents the arrangement, Thérèse soon finds that she can exploit the situation, using her benefactor's naivety and generosity for her own gain..

Evengyny Thanks for the memories!
UnowPriceless hyped garbage
Console best movie i've ever seen.
Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
demetrischristodoulides Come on, i rented this movie on dvd full of excitement as I am a huge fan of independent movies and european cinema in general. I also am a fan of John Malkovich and i really like Laetitia Casta ; but i can't recall a single moment in my whole life that i felt sooooo boooored! It's terrible! The only elements i liked was the music (that's nothing special really, just very nice) and the beautiful and excellent photography!
ch-de-hon After having watched that movie, i am still asking myself who is buried. And it seems i am not alone asking that question. When the film ended, people where asking each other "excuse me i haven't seen the beginning can you explain the plot of the film". Laetitia Casta try to act as an actress, she will probably succeed in a few decades. Nevertheless a good thing : the photography is excellent.
lenoradel A well acted and respectful adaptation of Giono's masterpiece. Ruiz takes the internal and complex ambiguity of a women's soul and frames and reflects her struggle in the backdrop of the refined beauty of Provence. The truth about Thérèse we may never know but the truth about Ms. Casta's talent on screen is without question.
vostf There is much hype surrounding the release of les Ames Fortes in France due to the starring debut of Laetitia Casta as the main character.We can understand very well what has appealed to the 23 year-old model: the movie, freely adapted from a Giono novel, tells the story of a peasant girl who will discover and use her personal attraction on men and women as she goes to town.What could have made a good story turns very boring as Ruiz lacks a sense of tempo and seems unable to craft a good end to the movie.This movie is not worth two hours of your time, even if you are a Casta fan.
