Lauren Dällenbach’s luminous debut observes the quiet, intimate life of Nicole and her mother Alberte, who have shared the same home for over fifty years. Filmed with subtle, patient camera work by Nicole’s niece, Lauren, the documentary traces a delicate path toward autonomy and connection. Tender, unsentimental and visually attentive, it explores family dependency, small acts of care and the gentle, hard-won emergence of a woman learning to shape her own life.
Special screening with the movie team and director Lauren Dällenbach.
Fenêtres sur le Japon gathers two rarely seen Japanese films in a programme that privileges attentive viewing and critical exchange. The screenings foreground intimate storytelling and formal rigour, tracing themes of memory, return and the resonant presence of voice. Each projection is followed by a discussion with specialists, situating the works within cinematic history and contemporary scholarship and inviting a reflective encounter with images, sound and cultural memory.
Emmanuel Finkiel adapts Marguerite Duras’s autobiographical La Douleur with a measured, intimate cinematic approach. The film transposes a writer’s private ordeal into the shadow of History, following the fragile lines between memory, absence, and testimony. Through quiet compositions, restrained performances and a focus on interior states, it evokes grief, fidelity and the burden of remembering. Distinctive for its literary source and its patient, tactile rhythm, the film feels like a poetics of mourning more than a conventional narrative. In French.
Screening will be followed by a discussion with Jean Marc Turine, close friend of Marguerite Duras.
