French Film ‘Rose’ Follows a Widow’s Journey Through Grief to Grace
Françoise Fabian portrays Rose, and the veteran Algerian-French actress charmingly defies what’s considered age-appropriate and motherly.

The new French film “Rose” traces the various stages of grief as it follows one woman’s journey to find purpose after the death of her husband.
