Criticism of ignoring women from an indefinite age is growing, but art refuses to take it into account. Thus, he paints them as increasingly attractive and unapologetic, living and loving, turning away from the slavery imposed by the calendar:
In reverse order of arrival, first mention goes to Emma Thompson (63) in Good Luck Big Leo, where a typical English widow decides to experiment on a male prostitute. The lead teacher never had an orgasm and if she did it wouldn’t be polite to explain it, although everyone has already seen the actress explore her body completely frontal nude.
We’re not just talking about movies. JM Coetzee’s Catalan Beatrice in the recent The Pole is not only reminiscent of Dante’s Beatrice Portinari, but is fifty years old with a vision of her own, desired and desired, whose decisions are overturned by a pianist from Chopin’s country. a married woman. composer. This isn’t a great Nobel novel, but it’s a perfect vindication of the most mature woman.
Tilda Swinton (61) not only plays the first narrator in the history of cinema, but also waits for you in three fantastic years. He takes a role in the movie against the dogma of “women older than her cannot be cast” and it would not be unfair to say that he uses it according to his own pleasure, taming the sought-after Idris Elba.

Realizing that Julia Roberts (54) is aging is one of the hardest blows her worshipers have to bear. Journey to Paradise unsuccessfully reconstructs Katharine Hepburn’s comedies against Cary Grant, but the screenplay forces the protagonist to choose between sought-after heartthrob and model Lucas Bravo (34) and George Clooney with no possible answer.
Dessert is the best, as no one should miss Julian Barnes’ romantic and sensitive portrait of lonely teacher Elizabeth Finch, whom we all wish we had and young Emmanuel Macron (44) turns into his wife Brigitte Macron (69). . ).
We haven’t even started with Isabelle Huppert (69).
