This translation is being published with their kind permission. This year's festival will take place from October 16-21, Kelly Reichardt will be the guest of honor. Many thanks to Emmanuel Burdeau, programmer of the festival, Jordan Mintzer and Caroline Champetier.
Caroline Champetier: I’ve always tried to take a step back from what I’m doing. The more I work, however, the less I’m able to deal with this exercise. I just finished production on Claude Lanzmann’s The Last of the Unjust and have barely said goodbye to David Teboul, a young director who I worked with on Cinq avenue Marceau (2002), a film I think very highly of and that’s about Yves Saint Laurent’s last collection.

Her latest effort focuses on an upper-class Italian family that fall apart after they are forced to sell their family home: “This is the story of a woman who meets a man and allows herself to dream again. This is also the story of her sickly brother and their mother. It is the story of a destiny – that of a large family from the Italian industrial bourgeoisie.“
Prediction: Starring the type of folk you want to see on the Croisette in Louis Garrel and Xavier Beauvois, Bruni-Tedeschi (who stars in the film herself) has been at the festival at least seven previous times in the past accompanying a film as an actress,...
