With the Wind

"The first French film from Swiss director Bettina Oberli has a love triangle at its center, so it could easily pass as a typical romantic drama. But 'Le vent tourne' also addresses the contrast between modernity and its huge environmental cost versus a sustainable way of life. Thus, the feature shows the parallels between human inability to completely dominate their environment and our essentially self-destructive nature. With an impressive performance by Mélanie Thierry ('A Perfect Day') added to the mix, the result goes beyond any ordinary romantic drama."
