多年以后，苏珊和她的两个孩子意外地出现在她姐姐珍妮的家中。起初看起来像是苏珊在试探性地试图重新与姐姐建立关系。但随着晨光的出现，这种幻觉破灭了：苏珊消失了……内森·安布罗西奥尼的这部亲密电影，描绘了一位被迫成为母亲的女人，而她对自己的孩子几乎一无所知。他那极简主义的叙事方式，却充满了深刻的共情，让观众得以观察这个新生家庭逐渐凝聚的缓慢过程，以及他们内心的恐惧与犹豫，还有那毫无效率的国家机器的荒谬之处。这是一部法国电影，它反映了因必要性而产生的共同生活本质的脆弱性，以及当它源于爱时，它会变得多么强大。

　　Paris, 1887. Duels have been officially outlawed but are still regular practice. For many, they are the only way to defend their honor. Fencing master Clément Lacaze tries in vain to prevent his nephew from engaging in an uneven duel with the more experienced Colonel Berchère. Marie-Rose Astié de Valsayre, a feminist fighting for women’s equality, tries to show that honor is not just a male affair. Actor and director Vincent Perez’s historical film makes excellent use of various forms of duels  – with épées, pistols, and sabres on horseback.　　源自：https://www.kviff.com/en/programme/film/63/40763-the-edge-of-the-blade
