French: subtitles
Cast: Vincent Lindon and Sandrine Kiberlain
A construction worker whose life is embedded in deep and satisfying emotional ties to his family; wife, son, elderly father, meets a school teacher Mademoiselle Chambon, whose emotional ties are defined by her love, her involvement in the arts: music, writing, reading, painting, teaching.
Each steps into the other's world.
Brick by brick the Director builds the plot, life built one brick on top of another. With delicate, deliberate perfection
we are shown/told the 'Direct Object' of the film is life. The choices we make and don't.
A quiet, compelling love story for those who don't need to be told what we already know but can't accept, not without a struggle.
MADEMOISELLE CHAMBON, is a gem, an intense provocative moment so unlike an American film experience.
For those in search of a film based on philosophical inquiry that forces the viewer to think, to digest, and feel more connected with others, I highly recommend MADEMOISELLE CHAMBON.
Film open at New York's Lincoln Plaza Cinemas and at the Cinema Village in New York on May 28, followed by a nationwide release to select cities.
