Flaubert's famous sentence, Madame Bovary, c'est moi (Madame Bovary, she is me), in reality means, Madame Bovary, c'est nous (Madame Bovary, she is us), in our modern incapacity to live a good-enough life.

I've only made short films and two features, which are very different. One is a surreal comedy, and the other is a period tragedy. I'm curious to know what misconceptions this could trigger

Madame Bovary is timeless. It is not just about the female condition in France in the 1840s. It's not a simple cautionary tale. Emma is more than a character she gives us an insight into human nature. With Emma, we are diving into the complexities of Flaubert's psyche.
