This bittersweet love story, which recently won two Césars, for Best Debut
Film and Best Actress, is an impressive start for its co-director and writer
Yolande Moreau, a popular stage and television comedienne in France and
her native Belgium.
Moreau also stars as Irène, a forty-something comedienne travelling through the
north of France with her one-woman show. While on tour, Irène meets Dries, a
youngish vagabond who becomes smitten with her and her show. Despite regular
cell phone reminders that she has a husband and child waiting at home, Irène
is nonetheless charmed by the attention of her ardent admirer. And so Irène allows
her youthful suitor to slowly find his way into her middle-aged heart.
The craggy-faced Wim Willaert brings such genuine affability and tenderness to
his role as Dries that one can understand why this man is hard for Irène to resist.
And Moreau plays Irène with an endearing mixture of worldliness, vulnerability
and melancholy.
These two beguiling performances make the romance that develops all the more
poignant, for one can't help but feel that Irène's initial fear of the giddy
acceptance of love is in part due to her awareness that, as the title suggests,
the tide must eventually go back out.
這笑中帶淚的愛情故事最近奪得了凱撒最佳新作及最佳女演員兩個獎項，是比利時裔法國受歡迎的舞台及電視藝人佑蘭特．摩露擔任導演和劇作家的驕人處女作。
佑蘭特．摩露還親自主演愛蓮一角。四十來歲的女演員愛蓮在法國北部作巡迴個人表演。途中她邂逅了年輕流浪漢德爾。後者深被愛蓮及其表演所吸引。愛蓮雖然經常透過手提電話的通話提醒自己家裡有丈夫和小孩在等她，但她還是免不了的被這熱情的愛慕者所吸引。因此，愛蓮逐漸讓這年輕人闖進她那不再年輕的心房。
五官輪廓分明的維吾．偉爾亞演活了德爾這人物，他的溫柔友善使人容易明白到為何愛蓮對這名男子無法抗拒。而佑蘭特．摩露飾演的愛蓮是一名世故、脆弱、抑鬱和惹人憐愛的女性。
這兩位演員精湛的演技讓這份正在萌生的戀情更加扣人心弦，因為我們都明白愛蓮一開始時害怕接受這份使人飄飄然的愛的部份原因是她知道，正如片名所暗示，潮漲後的水始終是會退下去的。
