Colors of Time

Nominated for César Awards for Best Costumes and Production Design.

One of the most reliably delightful French filmmakers working over the last 30 years, Cédric Klapisch (Rise, Rendez-Vous 2022) returns with another typically effervescent work. As four cousins gather at their family house in Normandy, Klapisch follows both their present-day reunion and their ancestor’s late-19th-century adventures. Arriving in Paris in 1895 to search for her elusive mother, Adèle (Suzanne Lindon) befriends painters and photographers as the city enters the Belle Époque. Inhabiting a world being rapidly transformed by the visions of Impressionist painters like Pierre-Auguste Renoir and Claude Monet, Adèle is the endearing anchor of Klapisch’s lavish, entrancing recreation of Paris on the cusp of a new golden era in the arts—and the alternately thrilling and unnerving dawn of a new, modern world.
