WHEN FALL IS COMING

Michelle is enjoying a peaceful retirement in a charming Burgundy village near her longtime friend Marie-Claude. She eagerly anticipates her grandson Lucas spending the school vacation with her, but things don’t go as planned. Feeling lonely, Michelle loses her sense of purpose, until Marie-Claude’s son gets out of prison. 

• Between a social tale and a Maigret-style thriller, Ozon slowly and surely takes us into his favorite themes. (…) Here, beauty is everywhere, and especially in the fall. Ozon films the red leaves and the changing skies to perfection. Each frame of the film is a painting. (…) With the subtlety and talent that characterize his gaze, Ozon films the intimate in its most intense complexities.
  Translated from an excerpt of Cult.news review
