COLOURS OF TIME

United by the unexpected inheritance of a house in Normandy, four estranged cousins discover their family history. While exploring the house, left untouched since the 1940s, they excavate the life of their ancestor, Adèle Vermillard, a 20-year-old woman who lived there in 1895. The end of the 19th century saw the birth of both photography and the Impressionist movement, which profoundly changed painting. 
Through back-and-forth journeys between 1895 and 2025, they find in the relics of the past what will help them better envision their own future.

• There’s a certain magic to films that don’t just tell a story but invite you to feel the very texture of time itself. Cédric Klapisch’s “Colours of Time” is such a motion picture, a delightful cinematic creation that playfully skips between turn-of-the-century Paris and our own hyper-connected present.

• Klapisch’s hand behind the camera is light, genial, and welcoming. It’s hard to dislike Colours of Time as it takes in the romantic beauty of the City of Light and reminds of the impact of family on our personhood. And perhaps the real art is the family we find along the way.

  (Variety) 

• It’s all part of the pleasure of a film that is unashamedly crowd-pleasing, sometimes self-mocking in its occasional touches of theme-park kitsch. Colours of Time nudges its audience a little heavily, if cheerfully so, with its historical references, and self-confessedly (as per an end title) plays fast and loose in its accuracy but is genially inventive in messing with the codes of period cinema.
