    Handmaid’s Tales

    “Abortion wasn’t decriminalised in France until 1975. To 23-year-old Annie Ernaux, securing one hush-hush in a back-alley was an act of self-preservation. It allowed her to continue her education, pursue her dream and become the Nobel Prize-winning author she is today. The 2000 memoir Happening recounted the whole ordeal. In its 2021 film adaptation, writer-director Audrey Diwan keeps the camera close to Anne.” (Film still)
