The Book of Mary

This film presents an intimate portrait of a child grappling with personal turmoil. Marie's life is disrupted by her parents' separation, forcing her to seek solace in her books, music, and dancing. Miéville's approach offers a dispassionate yet poignant view of Marie's struggles, making it a significant work in the landscape of drama.

As a collaboration with Jean-Luc Godard, Miéville's film stands as a complementary piece to his work, 'Je vous salue, Marie.' The unique perspective of a woman director during this era adds depth to the film's narrative and thematic exploration. Collectors interested in the evolution of film directed by women will find this work a valuable addition to their library.
