OK, OK, but what about grief for the daughter?

Rating: 7/10 (24 August 2003)

OK, OK, we get to see Julie struggle with her grief over her husband's death, as is evidenced by the music, the incomplete score, Olivier, the mistress, and so on, but what about the daughter???????
Apart from the blue-gemstone-hanging-thing and the blue lollipop, there's almost nothing in the movie about what Julie thinks or feels concerning her daughter, and i'm a bit puzzled by that.
We get to see none of her daughter's friends, her living quarters, her daughter's interests, either at the beginning (when Julie is blocking everything out), or at the end (when she starts opening up to her grief)
Are we to think that she was a detached mother to begin with, preoccupied with her husband's career and music?
Maybe the scene with her killing the rat and the babies also points to the fact that Julie was a detached mother?
And maybe her invitation of the pregnant mistress to come live in the house represents a coming-to-terms of Julie with her detachment as a mother, and thus she would want to make up for lost time?
This movie leaves me with more questions than answers.
