Loneliness is the trembling of the landscape as the train rushes by, and the burning sensation emitted by the fireplace; each scene and object, under Müller’s fixed lens, precise composition, and lush tones, exudes a heavy sense of solitude that reflects Mariann’s inner world. Awakening to the sudden realization that her husband would leave her, Mariann decides to abandon him first and embarks on an independent life with her child in the Paris countryside, seeking freedom and joy in translating Flaubert’s works, rediscovering herself in the vastness of the world. Produced by Win Wenders and directed by Peter Handke, the screenwriter of “The Go-Between” (1975) and “Wings of Desire” (1987), the film adapts the namesake novel, capturing a woman’s escape from the clamor of the world. Loneliness can also be a choice.
