Maria into Life

(Film, 2022)

I would like to point out that the Italian title is “Maria e l'amore” and that the rating given is based above all on the fact that the film makes you spend a pleasant evening while keeping you awake. It is a 2022 French film, unconventional. There is a woman, who finds herself by necessity cleaning in an art school, who comes into contact with extroverted students who are artists in their own way, and with other non-teachers, in particular the custodian of the institute, who has always been there , as if he were now destined to die there. In this situation the bet is on who will have the most courage to break the rules. The woman, from her marriage which no longer holds her back because her husband, although kind to her, does not understand her; the custodian, from the art institute where he has practically always been. Two worlds that desire the new and that are in contact with the varied humanity of exuberant students and teachers. We need to rediscover ourselves and life differently from how it has been led up to now. What will our protagonists do, against the backdrop of an institute that develops creativity and imagination? The protagonist is Karin Viard, already seen in the Bélier family. The protagonist is Gregory Gadebois, a talented actor.
