Thinking of You

About This Movie

Thinking of You (1993) is a poignant exploration of personal loss set against the backdrop of industrial decline in Belgium during the 1980s. The Meuse river serves as a stark contrast to the crumbling factories, creating a deeply atmospheric setting. Fabrice, played with a raw intensity, grapples with feelings of worthlessness after losing his job, a theme that resonates powerfully today. His wife Céline’s struggles with supporting him add layers to their relationship, showcasing the fragility of human connections. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the weight of each moment to settle in, and the practical effects, though subtle, enhance the grittiness of their reality. It’s a film that captures the essence of a time and place, yet feels painfully relevant.
