Jeanne is a dreamer.
Marion Cotillard stars in ‘The Ice Tower’Metropolitan Filmexport
Her first destination is the towns ice rink, where she watches a beautiful skater called Bianca pirouette.
By sheer accident, she comes by Biancas handbag in the street and adopts her identity.
It has other antecedents: Alices Wonderland or the wintry Narnia behind the back of the wardrobe.
Anything might happen here.
Jeanne sleeps in a corner of the studio, her dreams as vivid as her waking life.
Or, indeed, like the fictional Queen whose kiss will freeze your heart.
Quite what purpose they serve, however, remains elusive.
It is a pleasure just to look at her.
But its not enough.
