When Fall is Coming

Dir. François Ozon
103 min

The versatile and prolific François Ozon channels a bit of iconic French master Claude Chabrol in this gentle drama dealing with generational tensions and the art of breaking rules. Michelle (Hélène Vincent), who once lived in Paris, has since retired to a quiet existence in Burgundy. The voracious hostility of her adult daughter Valérie (Ludovine Sagnier) remains Michelle’s great puzzlement: how can a child for whom she sacrificed so much treat her with such contempt and suspicion? When Valérie drops off her son for a week with his grandmother, Michelle sees an opportunity to repair the relationship, but a culinary accident soon undercuts whatever trust remains. Hélène Vincent and Josiane Balasko are terrific as old friends who share an unconventional past as well as difficulties with their children. –AS
