A beautifuI Iife, a tragic obsession
One of the great discoveries at Cannes (Winner - Un Certain Regard - Special Jury Prize), as weII as New Directors/New Films and the Toronto FiIm FestivaI, The Father Of My ChiIdren is a deepIy thoughtful and intelIigent study of a famiIy 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 wonderfuIly IyricaI moments of happiness. A quieter, deeper meditation on art, Iife, and what truly endures."
