François Ozon, director renowned for such works as Huit Femmes and Dans la maison, returns with Quand vient l'automne, an intimate drama set in the French countryside. The film stars Hélène Vincent, known for her roles in La Vie est un long fleuve tranquille, Josiane Balasko, a fixture in Le Père Noël est une ordure, Ludivine Sagnier, star of Swimming Pool, Pierre Lottin, revealed in Les Tuche, and Sophie Guillemin, seen in L'Ennemi public n°1. The film plunges us into the life of Michelle, a seemingly ordinary grandmother, living out her peaceful retirement in Burgundy, close to her best friend Marie-Claude.
Michelle, retired and a model grandmother, lives serenely in a small village in Burgundy, surrounded by her friends and her daily routine. Her tranquility is disrupted when her daughter Valérie visits her on All Saints' Day, accompanied by her son Lucas, whom she has entrusted to her care for the vacations. What was supposed to be a quiet, pleasant week takes an unexpected turn, upsetting Michelle's routine and revealing underlying tensions.
Quand vient l'automne will appeal primarily to fans of family dramas and intimate stories. Fans of François Ozon will no doubt appreciate his ability to explore complex family dynamics, as in Sous le sable or Le Refuge. This film should also appeal to those who enjoyed works such as La Famille Bélier or L'Heure d'été, in which family relationships and secrets from the past take center stage. The film's originality should lie in its ability to blend the quiet everyday life of the French countryside with deep personal intrigue, promising revelations and strong emotions.
François Ozon 'sQuand vient l' automne promises to be a landmark addition to his filmography, thanks to a remarkable cast and a poignant story about family dynamics and well-kept secrets. Coming to theaters October 2, 2024, this captivating drama should appeal to fans of intimate narratives and deep psychological portraits, in the tradition of such films as Sous le sable and La Famille Bélier. The film promises an immersion into Michelle 's quiet but secretly tumultuous life in Burgundy.
