A New Women-Centered Movie Exploring Alcoholism: "The Good and the Better Days"
Overindulgence in alcohol by females – featured in a fresh cinematic production - Alcohol Consumption by Women: An Upcoming Movie Exploration
Prepare for an engaging and authentic portrayal of women's struggles with alcoholism in the upcoming movie, "The Good and the Better Days." Directed by Elsa Bennett and Hippolyte Dard, this film promises to tackle the topic head-on, blending fiction with documentary elements for a compelling group portrait.
At the helm of the production is Laurence Cottet, a former alcoholic and a passionate advocate for awareness and prevention. Cottet's personal experiences and access to treatment centers have allowed him to create a story that rings true for many affected women.
The movie follows several characters on their individual journeys towards recovery, including Diane, played by Michèle Laroque, a once-famous actress now forgotten. Denis, portrayed by an unnamed actor, is a former alcoholic who seeks to help the women regain their confidence and self-worth.
Denis leads group training sessions in the Moroccan desert, teaching the women how to set up tents, basic mechanics, and orientation. This unconventional setting serves as a symbolic fresh start for the women, distancing them from societal judgments and offering a chance to rebuild their lives.
Sabrina Ouazani plays Alice, a young party-goer who secretly suffers from never knowing her parents. Chantal, portrayed by Sophia Leboutte, is a woman on her eleventh rehab attempt, struggling to break free from the grip of addiction.
The focus of the training shifts from sterile sessions to dunes, desert sun, and group training, fostering a fragile solidarity among the women. "The Good and the Better Days" tackles all aspects of alcoholism without taboos, including denial, loneliness, shame, the difficulty of breaking free, and the constant risk of relapse.
In one unique scene, Denis suggests an unconventional yet liberating goal: participating in a dune rally through the Moroccan desert. This daring challenge serves as a metaphor for the women's personal journeys, encouraging them to push beyond their limits and embrace new beginnings.
