Germinie is a rather poignant adaptation of the Goncourt brothers' novella, capturing the essence of longing and unfulfilled desire. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to really sink into Germinie's world, filled with both the mundanity and the weight of her experiences. There’s a rawness to the performances that feels very authentic, almost like you're peering into a slice of life from a different era. The atmosphere is heavy with melancholy, a constant reminder of what Germinie yearns for but cannot seem to grasp. It's fascinating how the film explores themes of servitude and the quest for deeper connections, yet never leans too heavily into melodrama. It’s an interesting piece if you enjoy character-driven narratives that leave a lingering impact.
