After the success of Compte tes blessures, director Morgan Simon returns with Une Vie Rêvée, a bittersweet comedy that delves into the daily challenges of a 52-year-old woman, played by the talented Valeria Bruni Tedeschi. Alongside Félix Lefebvre(Été 85) and Lubna Azabal(Incendies), this film explores with subtlety and humor the complexities of life in a suburban housing estate. Morgan Simon, known for his poignant portraits, offers us here a new plunge into a world that is both realistic and touching.
Une Vie Rêvée introduces us to Nicole, a 52-year-old woman whose life seems far from a fairy tale. Living in a council estate with her son Serge, a 19-year-old who can't stand his mother, Nicole sees her dreams vanish under the weight of debt and unemployment. She loses control of her life, deprived of her financial means and powerless to face the signs of the passage of time. But as Christmas approaches, an unexpected turn of events may well light up her life.
Une Vie Rêvée will appeal to audiences with a taste for dramatic comedies and deeply human characters. Those who have enjoyed Morgan Simon's previous works or films such as Julie Delpy's Le Skylab or Louis-Julien Petit's Les Invisibles will find here a story that resonates with touching sincerity. The film may stand out for its uncompromising look at precariousness and family relationships, while leaving room for a glimmer of hope and redemption, symbolized by the approach of Christmas.
With Une Vie Rêvée, Morgan Simon continues to explore the themes that are dear to him, such as resilience in the face of life's difficulties. With Valeria Bruni Tedeschi at the top of her game, this film promises to be a moving and lucid look at contemporary challenges. Audiences will be able to discover this new nugget of French cinema from September 4, 2024.
