The Desiring just played at The Art of Brooklyn Film Festival this June and we got a really lovely write up by One Film Fan. Here’s an excerpt:
Lenz is a beautiful picture of poise and grace while likewise shining with a level of calm, muted intentionality that oozes both strength and vulnerability in her performance as Claire, Richard’s apparently dissatisfied wife who makes the choice to seek out what she needs through another man. Yet, it is this choice that makes her own inner questioning come to light, even as she confides more in her new man rather than in Richard and despite the latter’s attempts to regain what they’ve seriously lost sight of. It’s a nuanced performance throughout, and Lenz does an amazing job at making us feel for Claire despite her indiscretion.
