Father Of My Children
Le Père de mes enfants

Director: Mia Hansen-Love
Actors: Dominique Frot / Chiara Caselli / Louis Do de Lencquesaing

Winner – Un Certain Regard Special Jury Prize – Cannes 2009

This superbly perceptive new drama from emerging young talent Mia Hansen-Love is a thought-provoking and deeply moving portrait of a family undergoing a dramatic rupture.

Film producer Grégoire Canvel has it all – a wife and three delightful daughters he adores and a stimulating job that he's devoted to. On the surface he seems invincible, maintaining humour and charm as he tirelessly juggles the never-ending demands of his company with his domestic responsibilities. But when Grégoire's reserves, financial and emotional, reach a dramatic cracking point, his wife Sylvia and children are forced to cope with the repercussions...

Marked by moments of remarkable beauty and grace amid emotional turmoil, this loving but bittersweet film has tremendous emotional power. Those who enjoyed Olivier Assayas' recent "Summer Hours" are sure to find this award-winning film equally resonant.
