Our suggestions
A stormy reunion between scriptwriter Lumir with her famous mother and actress, Fabienne, against the backdrop of Fabienne's autobiographic book and her latest role in a Sci-Fi picture as a daughter of a mother who never grows old.
"Catherine Deneuve, one of the great stars of French cinema, is still active and delivering great performances, this time alongside another excellent French actress, Juliette Binoche. In 'La Vérité', Deneuve brings art to life and plays Fabienne, an artist who is aging and decides to write an autobiography that ends up displeasing her friends and confusing her daughter, a screenwriter (Binoche). An intriguing film with an excellent cast of women, another highlight is Ethan Hawke and the actress who plays Binoche's daughter, Clémentine Grenier. Directed by Hirokazu Koreeda ('Shoplifters'), he once again shows himself to be the ideal director for great family dramas."
