Helene Veret and her architect husband, Jean-Louis, have long known the perils of fire. After a 1970 blaze swept through their four hectares near the village of Plan-de-la-Tour, 20 km north of the Gulf of St. Tropez, Jean-Louis had his house hewn out of a rock cliffside so fire would pass over it.

...quiet protagonist, unimaginatively named E.S. This is not to say that Suleiman does not let his imagination run wild elsewhere in the work; one much-dicussed dream sequence depicts a woman who suddenly rebels against the soldiers using her for target practice, taking the offensive in a blaze of martial arts fury. The film won two awards at last year’s Cannes Film Festival. Divine Intervention screens...
