Mademoiselle Chambon

Director: Stéphane Brizé
Actors: Sandrine Kiberlain / Aure Atika / Vincent Lindon

CÉSAR for BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY!
TWO CÉSAR NOMINATIONS! Best Actress (Sandrine Kiberlain), Supporting Actress (Aure Atika)


After the international success of "Not Here To Be Loved", Stéphane Brizé returns with this touching, softy-spoken portrait of two adults fighting to contain their carnal passions from spilling over into a fullblown affair.

Jean leads a pretty ordinary life: he spends his days happily between his construction sites and his house, with his loving wife and son Kevin. One day, as he's picking up Kevin from school, he stumbles upon Mademoiselle Chambon, his son's teacher. She's discreet, elegant, mesmerizing, unlike any woman he has ever met before. This chance encounter will be a turning point in his well-organized life. But is this an opportunity to change or a folly to regret?

This romantic drama is based on Eric Holder's novel and filmed by Brize with great subtlety and tenderness, revealing another side of passion. It is the fourth film collaboration of Sandrine Kiberlain and Vincent Lindon and their obvious complicity and screen-synergy is evident – a simple glance between them is fraught with meaning.
