Juliette in Spring

MA15+, 96 mins, France
Featuring a fantastic ensemble cast led by Izïa Higelin, Jean-Pierre Daroussin and Noémie Lvovsky, the charming and deeply-affecting new family dramedy by Blandine Lenoir (Aurore, Annie’s Fire) follows a young woman’s efforts to reconnect to herself and her family during an unexpectedly eventful trip home.

When 35-year-old Juliette (Higelin, La Belle Saison), a children’s book illustrator, returns from Paris to her country village to spend some downtime with her loved ones, what she encounters is anything but low-key. Her harried elder sister Marylou (Sophie Guillemin, in a scene-stealing turn) is carrying on a “one-day-a-week" affair with a man from the costume shop; her grandmother is becoming frailer by the day, and her long-separated parents are feuding - he (Darroussin) is kind and wry but emotionally distant, she (Lvovsky) is wildly-revelling in the second act of her life as a free woman.
