action
After the murder of her boyfriend, the young woman Marianne tries to commit suicide. The attempt fails and she wanders around in the wild. When she comes to a dam, she meets the engineer Elysée, who during the summer maintains the hydroelectric power station away from his wife. He takes care of her and tries to fathom her past. A love affair develops between the two of them. After Elysée returns to town in autumn, Marianne takes her own life.
criticism
Janis L. Pallister wrote in her book The Cinema of Québec in 1995 that the reduced dialogue of La Demoiselle sauvage demands the “iconographic power of cinema” even more than in other films from Léa Pool. Mathieu Loewer remarked: "Music, body and equipment form a visual and acoustic language, which in« La demoiselle sauvage »takes on a strongly symbolic character."
The film was awarded in 1991 at the 15th Festival des Films du Monde in the category “Best artistic contribution for photography”.
