France, 1760. Marianne is commissioned to paint the wedding portrait of Héloïse, a young woman who has just left the convent. Because she is a reluctant bride-to-be, Marianne arrives under the guise of companionship, observing Héloïse by day and secretly painting her by firelight at night. As the two women orbit one another, intimacy and attraction grow as they share Héloïse’s first moments of freedom. Héloïse’s portrait soon becomes a collaborative act of and testament to their love.
|
|
A subtle and thrilling love story, at once unsentimental in its
realistic assessment of women’s circumstances and almost
utopian in its celebration of the freedom that is nonetheless available to them.
– A. O. Scott,
The New York Times

A confessional, cautionary, and occasionally humorous tale of Robbie Robertson’s young life and the creation of one of the most enduring groups in the history of popular music, The Band. Once Were Brothers blends rare archival footage, photography, iconic songs and interviews with many of Robertson’s friends and collaborators including Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Martin Scorsese, Peter Gabriel, Taj Mahal, Dominique Robertson, Ronnie Hawkins, and more.
|
|
There is a pronounced sense of Robertson taking back a story he clearly feels has been hijacked.

In February 1945, the U.S. Army sent 855 black women from the Women’s Army Corps (WACs) to England and France to clear the backlog of mail in the European Theater of Operations. The 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion was the only all-black female battalion to serve in Europe during WWII. Confronted with racism and sexism from their own leadership and troops, the SixTripleEight cleared over 17 million pieces of backlogged mail ensuring the troops stayed in touch with their loved ones back home.
