Lady in the Lake honors filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée (Dedication explained)
As a huge fan of the thriller genre, I can’t recommend enough that fans add Apple TV+’s new series, “Lady in the Lake,” to their watch lists. Starring Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram, this seven-episode drama created by Alma Har’el is based on Laura Lippman’s novel of the same name and set in 1960s Baltimore, Maryland.
Thriller enthusiasts ought to give “Lady in the Lake,” Apple TV+’s latest series with Natalie Portman and Moses Ingram, a serious thought for their viewing lists. This seven-episode drama, helmed by Alma Har’el (“Honey Boy”), is inspired by Laura Lippman’s novel of the same title, which revolves around a string of murders in 1960s Baltimore, Maryland. The first two episodes are now streaming, providing an enticing introduction to our captivating leading ladies.
As a gamer, I’ve been really enjoying the new show, “Lady in the Lake.” It may not be the best series of the year, but trust me, it’s definitely worth your time. The performances by Portman and Ingram are top-notch, and I can’t get enough of the intriguing mystery that kicks off the premiere. Since I haven’t read the original source material, I’m excited to see where this story takes us next. The first episode, titled “Did You Know Seahorses Are Fish?” is a must-watch, paying homage to the brilliant and Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Jean-Marc Vallée.
Late director Jean-Marc Vallée served as an executive producer on Lady in the Lake
If you haven’t heard of the late Vallée by name, you’ve probably seen his acclaimed works. He was renowned for helming and/or producing award-winning movies and TV series such as “Dallas Buyers Club,” “Wild,” “Big Little Lies,” and “Sharp Objects.” Putting it mildly, he was a notable figure in the film industry. Starting his career in writing and directing during the ’80s, Vallée began with music videos before releasing his first feature film, “Liste noire,” in 1995. Some of Quebec’s most successful films bear his directorial mark.
In 2005, Vallée’s movie “C.R.A.Z.Y.” gained him international recognition and acclaim, paving the way for his career to take off in the US. Around ten years later, he joined forces with his production companies Crazyrose and Bad Wolf America to produce Apple TV+’s “Lady in the Lake,” which was announced in March 2021 and eventually premiered in 2024. Vallée is acknowledged as one of the executive producers for this series.
I was deeply saddened to learn that Jean-Marc Vallée had passed away on December 25, 2021, at the age of 58 in his home country of Canada. According to Deadline’s report from April 2022, his family shared that he died due to a fatal cardiac arrhythmia caused by severe coronary atherosclerosis. It was heartbreaking news for me and many others in the industry, as evidenced by the outpouring of tributes and statements from actors who had worked with him before, such as Reese Witherspoon, Nicole Kidman, Matthew McConaughey, and Laura Dern.
With a gentle hand and heart Jean-Marc was a true receiver—he didn’t romanticize life so much as he saw life romantic—from the struggle to the pain to the wink and the whisper, love stories were everywhere in his eye.
Vallee’s creations continue to impress and rank among the finest movies and television productions of the past two decades. The entertainment industry mourns his departure deeply.
