Venice
THE beautifully crafted Une Vie (A Woman's Life) by French director Stephane Brize about the tormented life of a baroness seduced the Venice Film Festival on Tuesday, as it entered the race for the coveted Golden Lion.
Brize - whose last film The Measure of a Man (2015) competed for the Palme d'Or at Cannes, winning Best Actor - here adapts the first novel written by 19th century author Guy de Maupassant into a rich period drama.
