Lenita - Traces of a Lady offers a fascinating glimpse into the life of Lenita Perroy, an Arabian horse breeder whose story unfolds through a peculiar deck of cards found at an antiques fair. The documentary captures the essence of her eccentricity with a rhythm that ebbs and flows, sometimes lingering on her portraits and other times rushing through her adventures. There's an intriguing interplay between the past and present, and the visual style really emphasizes the textures of her life—like the grain of photographs that capture fleeting moments. You get a real sense of who she was, not just as a breeder but as a storyteller herself.
