Melissa Guers, Roschdy Zem, Chiara Mastroianni, Anaïs Demoustier, Annie Mercier, Pascal-Pierre GarbariniSome foreign-language films arrive on the festival circuit so primed and ready for remake treatment that you practically expect a teaser trailer in the closing credits. Such was the case with last year’s “The Accused ,” an engrossing Argentine courtroom drama just classy enough to secure a Venice competition berth, and just lurid enough to get populist-minded producers twitching.
Indeed, “The Girl With a Bracelet” will play best to audiences unfamiliar with “The Accused” — not due to any qualitative difference between the two, but because its hooky story can’t help but lose some impact when told twice in such swift succession. The telling is straightforwardly linear, but the audience isn’t spoonfed, as Demoustier takes his time in establishing the exact details of what has happened.
