SCREENING IN THE BERNARD OSHER FOUNDATION AUDITORIUM
“[A] beautifully bittersweet and generous movie – which, like life itself, draws no distinction between the significant and the insignificant.”
112 minutes. Rated R. Directed by Mia Hansen-Løve. In French with English subtitles.
Sandra (Lea Seydoux) is a widowed young mother raising her daughter on her own, while also caring for her sick father (Pascal Greggory). She’s dealing with the loss of the relationship she once had with her father, while she and her mother and sister fight to get him the care he requires. At the same time, Sandra reconnects with Clément (Melvil Poupaud), a friend she hasn’t seen in a while and, although he’s married, their friendship soon blossoms into a passionate affair.
