Dir. Manoel de Oliveira · Starring Michel Piccoli, Catherine Deneuve, John Malkovich, Antoine Chappey, Leonor Baldaque, Sylvie Testud
Drama

The comfortable daily routines of aging Parisian actor Gilbert Valence, 76, are suddenly shaken when he learns that his wife, daughter, and son-in-law have been killed in a car crash. Having to take care of his now-orphaned grandson, he struggles to go on with his lifelong acting career like he's used to. But the roles he is offered -- a flashy TV show and a hectic last-minute replacement in an English-language film of Joyce's Ulysses -- finally convince him that it's time to retire.

VIBE

A quiet, contemplative journey through loss and the twilight of a life. It feels like watching an old photograph fade, imbued with a profound sense of melancholy and the weight of memory.
