Picture by Christian Schulz. Sandrine Bonnaire’s directional debut is ‘as wrenching as it is layered’ (Screen Int.). The „Sturm und Drang Drama“ (Hollywood Reporter) starring William Hurt follows the story of a man who is unable to detach himself from his tragic past and can’t overcome his complicity in the death of his son. When Jacques returns to France ten years after the fateful accident, he meets his former wife, who has returned to life – and gave birth to another child. Bonnaire, who also wrote the screenplay, focuses on the faces, studying them intently. The film premiered at the Cannes Filmfestival Critic’s Week 2012.
