The woman at the centre of the subtle but cathartic One Fine Morning is cursed by her consciousness. Try as she might, she can’t escape the fact that she’s ultimately alone, trapped in her own head, and tied through her actions to each and every person around her. It’s a torturous existence. Sandra (Léa Seydoux), a young widow, cares for her eight-year-old daughter. She also cares for her father Georg (veteran actor Pascal Greggory), whose sight is mostly gone and whose memory is crumbling away due to a neurodegenerative disease. At work, as a translator, she patiently reinterprets the words of strangers, or guides American World War Two veterans back down the paths of their old traumas.
She has carved up and rationed out every last part of her heart. There’s no more left for her own use, as she’s forced to admit: “I just...

Mia Hansen-Løve’s portrait of the travails of a middle-aged philosophy teacher is a plum acting vehicle for Isabelle Huppert It steers clear of crazy, extraordinary events to instead offer insights into how real people live and cope. The professor must dip into her subject matter to make sense of her life, and comes up sane. Folks expecting a feel-good satire about ‘goofy’ women can make do with Sally Field in Hello, My Name is Doris. Mia and Isabelle do well here.

The Berlin International Film Festival is now underway, and one of the movies we're eager to see is Mia Hansen-Løve's latest, "L'avenir (Things To Come)." The filmmaker has a compelling storytelling voice, her last feature "Eden" is a Playlist fave, and now we have a reason to brush up on our French, as the first international trailer has landed (via Cinemaldito). Read More: Interview: Mia Hanson-Løve Talks 'Eden,' Daft Punk, French Disco And Her Next Film 'The Future' Starring Isabelle Huppert, André Marcon, Roman Kolinka, Edith Scob and Sarah Le Picard, the film follows a fifty-year-old philosophy teacher grappling with the death of her mother, getting fired from her job, and a husband who is cheating on her. Here's the official synopsis from Berlin. Nathalie teaches philosophy at a high school in Paris. She is passionate about her job and particularly enjoys passing on the pleasure of thinking.

After crafting one of the finest films of last year, it’s safe to say expectations are high for Mia Hansen-Løve‘s Things to Come, particularly considering she’s teaming with one of the finest actresses in cinema, Isabelle Huppert. Shifting away from capturing youth in Eden, her latest drama follows a woman who must figure out life after her husband leaves.
Set to premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival this weekend, its first pair of clips have now arrived, each of which seem to have come from an early portion of the film — so if you’re concerned about getting spoiled, fear not. Ahead of our review, check out the clips below (and see one with subtitles here), along with new images and the official Berlin description for the film also starring André Marcon, Roman Kolinka, Edith Scob, and Sarah Le Picard.

The Holy Land is Dope; Wajeman’s Effective Family Drama is Surprisingly Subtle
Titled with a Hebrew term for Jewish immigration to Israel from the diaspora, Aliyah traces the uninspiring procedure for an assisted return to the Holy Land, as Alex (Pio Marmaï) prepares to join his restaurateur cousin (David Geselson) in Tel Aviv and leave behind his oppressive lot in Paris. Co-written alongside Gaëlle Macé, Elie Wajeman’s directorial debut is an intimate and unhurried wandering through the circumstantial pressures that have cornered a 27-year-old low-grade drug dealer.
The nature of conversation surrounding his plans requires that Alex confess to not already “knowing Israel”, as he only visited once as a child. It is repeatedly assumed that he is familiar with the land, language and even the holidays, erecting a strict framework for Jewish identity that is uniquely transcended. Alex is nonreligious and entirely aware of the devastating political turmoil,...

It shouldn’t have to be this way, but the summer movie-going season is generally known far more for big, bombastic spectacles than for smart, affecting character-based films. That’s not a knock on blockbusters as there were actually quite a few good ones in theaters the past few months, but it’s more an unfortunate commentary on how the smaller films are often lost in the shuffle of May to July if they’re even released at all. But August is the month where explosions and CGI slowly give way to dialogue and character, and it’s here where an intimate look at life, death, and defying expectations just might find the audience it deserves. Paloma (Garance Le Guillermic) has had enough. She’s only eleven years old, but she’s already had her fill of life’s absurdities thanks to a family that annoys far more than they enrich. Her...
