Un film sublime, plein de poésie. Le lien mère fille est étudié avec une grande sensibilité et sous plusieurs angles. Beaucoup de sororité dans ces liens intergénérationnels qui s’entrecroisent. Enfin une histoire d’amour avec une femme âgée mise en avant dans un film français ! Ce qui n’est pas dit dans les temps suspendus, comme les respirations en musique, est aussi touchant que les dialogues finement écrits. Un film unique en son genre qui justifie une note unique.
Synopsis
Elegant, retired architect Shauna (70) crosses paths with Pierre, a happily married doctor in his 40s, who first made an impression on her in a brief meeting 15 years previously. Both are quite troubled to meet again and begin an affair. While Pierre’s family life is soon turned upside down, Shauna struggles with feelings she thought belonged to the past.

Fanny Ardant's performance is consistently highlighted as breathtaking, bringing authenticity and depth to her role. The film's sensitive handling of themes like love beyond age barriers and societal norms resonates strongly, although some find the plot slightly unbelievable due to the age difference.
👍 Exceptional performance by Fanny Ardant.
👎 Age difference may challenge believability for some.
