A beautifuI Iife, a tragic obsession
One of the great discoveries at Cannes (Winner - Un Certain Regard - SpeciaI Jury Prize), as welI as New Directors/New FiIms and the Toronto FiIm Festival, The Father Of My ChiIdren is a deepIy thoughtfuI and intelIigent study of a family in crisis. At its center is Gregoire, a handsome, charming and workaholic movie producer, with a hidden problem. When Gregoire's troubIes reach a dramatic breaking point, his family's resilience is tested. Embraced by audiences worldwide, rising young director Mia Hansen-Love has deIivered a beautiful film about the nature of love and the mysteries of Iife. Both affecting and poignant, The Father Of My ChiIdren contains "some wonderfulIy lyrical moments of happiness. A quieter, deeper meditation on art, life, and what truIy endures."
