doesn’t milk that for pure senti-

human struggle with her own
mortality becomes an occasion
for Marie to become Marguerite’s
teacher. How should Marguerite
balance caring for herself with
caring for Marie? How much
should Marie be told about what

and spare Marie the details, un-

both women. Marie’s unchained
soul -- which might have lived its
life in prison if not for Marguerite
-- now guides them both toward

death for Marguerite must honor

Marie beautifully communicates
(!) to the departed Marguerite,
and to us, shows just how alert
her soul now is, and brings tears
more well-earned than just about
anything Hollywood has ever pro-
duced. Perhaps in order to appre-
ciate that scene, it helps to have
attempted an impossible thing, or
to have lost a person whose im-
pact on one’s life cannot ever be
expressed, but to whom one owes
the ability to express what one
can.
