Review of Natalia

Natalia (1988)
parable
26 July 2023
A story of war. A young woman decides make real her dream. So, with fake identity papers, she can ignore the anti - Jew legislation in france, cutting the connection with family and her boyfriend.

But the things goes wrong. She is arested, and the return to home offers a radical different perspective.

A film about France under occupation but, more significant, a beautiful crafted, in Bertrand Tavernier style, parable about small things defining us.

The mix of bitterness and cold attitude about mother and fiancee , the novel of the last, dedicated to her, the Resistence officer and the protector of Natalia , her friensd and, presumed denuncer are the pieces of a large game about a sort of Faustian pact and its high price.
