Sans Rancune

About This Movie

So, 'Sans Rancune' is a curious little TV movie from '87 that dives into some pretty intense territory. The premise, with Dora about to give birth and inviting her two one-night stands from a school reunion, sets up a really intimate yet awkward atmosphere. The pacing is pretty unique for a TV movie, it takes its time to explore the emotional dynamics—definitely not your standard delivery room drama. The performances, while not necessarily standout, carry a certain rawness, which adds to the film's overall charm. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects around the birth scene feel quite grounded. There's something striking about how it tackles themes of responsibility and the messiness of relationships, making it stand out in the landscape of 80s TV dramas.
