About La Flambeuse
A woman on the brink of middle age becomes bored and takes up playing cards. She becomes hooked on gambling and begins to neglect her husband and children.
Directed by Rachel Weinberg, La Flambeuse leans on a strong ensemble — Lea Massari, Laurent Terzieff, Gérard Blain — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1981.
