When Autumn Falls
(Quand vient l'automne)
Michelle (Hélène Vincent) and her close friend Marie-Claude (Josiane Balasko) are enjoying a peaceful and simple life after both retiring from Paris to a rural Burgundy village. But an upsetting visit from Michelle’s daughter Valerie (Ludivine Sagnier), and the release of Marie-Claude’s son Vincent (Pierre Lottin) from prison lead to a series of events that reveal past deeds and will change the lives of the two friends forever.
Writer-director François Ozon demonstrates his versatility by following up his recent comedy caper The Crime Is Mine with this emotional, intimate drama. Using the outstanding performances of his cast and a surprising narrative, Ozon’s When Autumn Falls is an elegant and playfully deceptive work, exploring themes of family, human connection, guilt and grief, whilst keeping audiences on their toes!
