Plot
A drama about a family dispersing after the death of its matriarch. Several American and Canadian critics' groups named it the best foreign-language film of its year.
Sinekatalog’s take
Olivier Assayas's family drama follows siblings dividing their mother's art-filled house. Elegant and wistful, with Juliette Binoche and Charles Berling, it is a graceful essay on heritage, memory and loss.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
