Lumiere (1976)

A famous actress (Jeanne Moreau) invites her three actress friends to a vacation retreat. Each woman is at a critical point in her life. Sarah (Moreau) has broken up with her longtime lover (Francis Huster), Laura (Lucia Bose) is pregnant while her husband has a mistress, Caroline (Caroline Cartier) is in an unhappy relationship with a controlling boyfriend (Niels Arestrup) and Julienne (Francine Racette) finds herself being pursued by an American actor (Keith Carradine). Written and directed by Jeanne Moreau. The movie is engrossing and has an authenticity to it. As an actress, Moreau is able to focus on the interrelationships of actress friends without the stereotypes that a mainstream Hollywood movie might have done. Yes, they are actresses, creative women but they are also women outside of their profession and deal with the "normal" problems other women face but with the complications that their professions often entail. With Bruno Ganz, Francois Simon and Rene Feret.
