Brother and Sister is the name of the new drama byArnaud Desplechin, a regular at the Cannes Film Festival since his first nomination in the official selection dates back to 1945 with The Sentinel, which unfortunately did not win a prize. Since then, the director has climbed the steps on several occasions, with films such as How I argued... (my sex life), Esther Kahn, Leo playing "In the company of men", A Christmas Tale, Jimmy P., The Ghosts of Ishmael, Roubaix, a light, and last year Deception presented in the category Cannes Premiere.
Although he has often come to the Croisette, the director has not yet received any award at the prestigious film festival. So, we wish him to finally see his work rewarded with a famous Palm with Brother and Sister. This drama features Marion Cotillard and Melvil Poupaud as brother and sister who have not spoken to each other for many years, without the viewer really knowing why, and who must face the last days of life of their parents who were injured in a serious traffic accident.
