Q&A with Delphine and Muriel Coulin on March 8
Pierre (Vincent Lindon), a widower who has dedicated his life to his two children, is shaken to discover that his older son Fus (Benjamin Voisin) has begun hanging out with violent right-wing nationalists. Whereas their previous collaborations (17 Girls, Rendez-Vous 2012; The Stopover, Rendez-Vous 2016) trained an eye on the experience of women in France, for their third feature the Coulin sisters have applied an equally analytical and empathetic perspective to a decidedly masculine environment. This sobering contemplation of radicalization takes a nuanced look at two equally strong, competing impulses: loyalty to family on one hand, and responsibility toward the greater social good on the other. At its center is the typically masterful Lindon, delivering a career-best performance for which he was awarded Best Actor at last year’s Venice Film Festival.
