Le rayon vert (1986)
An absolutely outstanding portrayal of chronic depression

In my opinion, Marie Riviere, through her character Delphine, does an absolutely outstanding job in portraying the subjective side of a condition known as "chronic depression" or "dysthymia" As such, it should be mandatory viewing for all mental health professionals in training. A film that I love almost as much, and that is fairly similar, is "A Week's Holiday" ("Une Semaine de Vacances", 1980) starring Nathalie Baye. Finally, I feel that "Le Rayon Verte" is MUCH better than Eric Rohmer's other films. It's his masterpiece !
