Switzerland's officiaI entry for Best Foreign Language FiIm at the 82nd Academy Awards, Home is a mesmerizing fable of modern famiIy Iife starring internationally renowned actress lsabeIIe Huppert .
Huppert plays Marthe, a happy-go-Iucky mother whose family enjoys an idyIIic existence in their isolated, ramshackIe home, which edges onto an abandoned highway. Almost entirely cut off from society at Iarge, they forge their own utopia. Everything changes when city trucks roll in to complete the road's construction, aIlowing rush hour traffic to start rumbIing by.
Refusing to give up their solitude, Marthe, her husband MichaeI , and their three chiIdren resort to increasingIy desperate measures to insuIate themseIves from the pollution creeping inside their windows.
With her debut feature, director Ursula Meier has created "a bewitching dream of a fiIm" , a funny, moving, and thought-provoking drama that tackIes issues of environmentaI anxiety, familiaI strife, and the essentiaI pleasure of a quiet night inside. With "terrific performances and superb cinematography" by Agnes Godard , Home exhibits a unique force and beauty that is an announcement of a major filmmaking talent. |
