CFF-15 certification
MAIN FEATURES
Director: Olivier Ducastel, Jacques Martineau. Starring: Laetitia Casta, Yannick Renier, Yann Tregouet.
France, 2008. 170 mins. French with English subtitles.
An epic drama of life and sexual politics in France. Friends and lovers caught up in the excitement of May '68 at the Sorbonne eventually leave Paris for a communal life in the country. The collective seems at first like a fairytale of left-wing hippiedom, but principles are gradually betrayed as its members drift away to bourgeois careers. Laetitia Casta gives a great performance as the central figure, Catherine; loved by both Hervé and Yves and eventually left by everyone, she remains a gentle but determined matriarch.

➜ We are delighted to welcome directors Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau for a Q&A following the screening.
