A soulful examination of two defeated middle-aged characters who aren't sure that life holds the possibility of a second act. As prisoners who form a connection while employed together on work-release, the two actors are beautifully matched, neither needing much dialogue to explain their cautious determination to reconnect with a world that abandoned them. Their art house pedigree should draw attention to a film that merits theatrical exposure beyond the fest circuit. Graziella (Rossy De Palma) is nearing the end of the term she's serving for killing her father. She goes to work as one of three caretakers at a deserted boarding school, where she meets Antoine (Denis Levant) a projectionist before jail, and is told, with no explanation, "Be careful of him - he's like you." The two bond deeply in a way we understand to be romantic despite the fact that well over halfway through the film, we haven't seen them kiss.

Graziella (2015) Reviews
Outstanding story for outstanding performances.
A true moving, poignant story about a female ex con who tries to live again after being released from jail. Rossy De Palma is absolutely outstanding here, as the lead character. But Claire Nebout is awesome too as another ex con who tries to help De Palma the best she can. Mehdi Charef gave here one of his best features, so sensitive, so close to reality, so close to actual human misery. Of course Denis Lavant gives in this movie a powerful performance which nearly make the audience weep. The sequences of the Russian roulette, in the truck, are so unbearable, so...I thought of 13 TZAMETTI or DEER HUNTER. I will emphasize on Claire Nebout's role. Here, she behaves, talks like a man, a he man; I don't know why, but she reminds me a sort of female variation of what late French actors Michel Constantin, Marcel Bozzuffi or Lino Ventura were. Square, solid, real men, tough but fair, ruthless but full of dignity. This film was unfortunately mostly ignored by the audiences. Silly audiences who prefer American garbage movies with billion of dollars special effects and super f... heroes. Such a shame. I will never belong to those herds of idiots.
