Synopsis
Direct from the San Sebastián International Film Festival, and winner of the Jury Prize for Best Screenplay, François Ozon's (Everything Went Fine, AF FFF21) haunting drama, WHEN FALL IS COMING, marks the director's return to his signature lyricism. In the depths of autumn in Burgundy, Michelle (Hélène Vincent, The Extraordinary, AF FFF20) spends her quiet, isolated life foraging in the undergrowth for mushrooms with Marie-Claude. When Michelle's acerbic daughter, Valérie (Ludivine Sagnier, Of Love and Lies, AF FFF20), drops her son off for the school holidays, Michelle hopes his stay will rekindle their strangled relationship. But when Michelle makes a mistake, she risks everything and her relationship with everyone. Alienated from her daughter again and shadowed by guilt, Michelle’s world turns bleak – until Marie-Claude’s son (Pierre Lottin) is unexpectedly released from prison. WHEN FALL IS COMING is an atmospheric film that maps our mistakes and our redemption, our second chances and changing seasons. Amidst the beauty of autumnal Burgundy, Ozon's film reveals a quietly menacing undercurrent. This darkness sets off a chain of startling events and highlights secrets, which like poisonous mushrooms, often lurk in plain sight.
Reviews
"This San Sebastian premiere should prove duly popular with older arthouse audiences rarely represented on screen with such care and daring."
