[4]The films of French director Arnaud des Pallieres, whose 2013 title Michael Kohlhaas was part of the Cannes competition, are ambitious and uncompromising. This is also true for his latest effort, Orphan (Orpheline), inspired by the life of co-screenwriter Christelle Berthevas (who also co-authored Kohlhaas). Instead of making a straightforward narrative biopic, he’s made a film that cuts between the stories of four women at different ages and with different names who all represent different aspects of the woman at its center. But des Pallieres’ compartmentalized approach to character has a distinct drawback: it takes too long to see how all the protagonists are really one person, so for much of the film’s running time it feels like four decent to very good short films have been cut together for no reason other than that they are all about women (rather than one woman).After its Toronto bow, this should land at festivals and VOD-specialists looking for highbrow French fare, though theatrical exposure beyond French-speaking territories will be limited.The film opens with leggy tough girl Tara (Bond girl Gemma Arterton, speaking passable French) being released from prison.

The first thing the ex-con does is go to the school run by Renee (Adele Haenel, from the Dardenne brothers’ The Unknown Girl), a kind and attentive woman in her early thirties, so she can demand her part of a sum they stole together seven years earlier. Not much later, and in front of her partner (Jalil Lespert) with whom she’s been trying to conceive, Renee’s dragged away by the police who claim she’s someone called Karine.Elsewhere, Sandra (Adele Exarchopoulos, from Blue Is the Warmest Color), in her twenties, is a flirty young woman who sits down in a café to meet an older, somewhat lecherous man who, besides younger women, is into betting on horse races. At the racetrack, Sandra becomes a cashier and meets Tara, whose plan to rig the system and make a lot of money.
