Movie Haiku:French director Alice Winocour dazzles with her first feature, a scrupulously researched dramatization of a real case from the early days of psychiatry. Lindon plays neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot & Soko plays his "hysterical" patient--prone to paralytic attacks & flamboyant seizures. Makes A DANGEROUS METHOD look even more ridiculous than ever. Not yet seen by Rich.
