La vie des morts
Golden Days: The Films of Arnaud Desplechin
March 11 - 17, 2016
In the wake of a young man’s suicide attempt, his family (played by several Desplechin regulars, including Emmanuelle Devos) gathers in their house in the country, where complex interrelationships play out against a tense vigil. This rarely screened, Jean Vigo Prize–winning featurette is an incisive, poignant examination of the myriad ways we deal with tragedy.
In the wake of a young man’s suicide attempt, his family gathers in their large house in the country, where complex interrelationships play out against a tense vigil. Winner of the 1991 Jean Vigo Prize, Desplechin’s rarely screened featurette displays many of the hallmarks of his mature style: the deft handling of a sprawling cast of characters (played by several Desplechin regulars, including Emmanuelle Devos), the nuanced understanding of family dynamics, and the wide-ranging literary allusions. All come together in an incisive, poignant examination of the myriad ways we deal with tragedy. New digital restoration courtesy of Why Not Productions.
