| - | :Augustine est le premier film le plus maîtrisé que l'on ait vu depuis longtemps. Chaque plan est cadré avec une précision méticuleuse, chaque décor, chaque costume sont choisis avec un soin maniaque. Tout est calculé. Presque trop. Même si elle voulait faire ressentir, à chaque instant, le lent étouffement, l'asphyxie permanente des personnages, on eût aimé, tout de même, que la réalisatrice laissât deviner dans sa mise en scène — de temps à autre, au moins ! — un petit souffle de liberté. Or, non... | + | |
