Alice Winocour’s (Disorder, Rendez-Vous ’16) third feature, which stars Eva Green and Matt Dillon, wrestles poignantly with the earthly loose ends and internal pressures of space travel.
Alice Winocour is no longer able to attend in person on March 7, but we’re delighted to share that she has recorded an introduction and post-screening conversation exclusively for Rendez-Vous with French Cinema audiences. See more details here.
Sarah (Eva Green), an astronaut living in Cologne, is selected for a yearlong spaceflight to help pave the way for future voyages to Mars. Before liftoff, she must spend a grueling year at a training facility in Moscow, which separates her from her young daughter (Zélie Boulant), left in the care of her ex-husband (Clouds of Sils Maria’s Lars Eidinger). Highly aware that she’s the only woman involved in the mission, Sarah tries to stay focused and stoic, suppressing any weaknesses that her condescending captain (Matt Dillon) might notice, and trying to soothe her daughter’s newfound loneliness from afar. Set to an atmospheric score from Ryuichi Sakamoto, the third feature from Alice Winocour (Disorder, Rendez-Vous 2016) wrestles poignantly with the earthly loose ends and internal pressures of space travel. A Vertical Entertainment release.
