  • In Thérèse, Audrey Tatou is married … with problems

    City Paper grade: C+ Like Georges Franju’s 1962 original and the novel that inspired it, the late Claude Miller’s take on Thérèse Desqueyroux never deliberately explains why his title character does what she does and hates who she hates. Suffice it to…
