AFTER HIM
Après lui

The inestimable Catherine Deneuve revels in one of her most expressive roles in years, in actor/director Gael Morel's moving new drama, co-written by Christophe Honoré (Inside Paris, Love Songs). She stars as Camille, a vivacious divorcee who runs a classy bookshop in Lyon, whose life is turned upside down when her twenty-year-old son is killed in an accident.

She begins to cling to any signs of her lost son's life, even forming a strange friendship with his best friend Franck (Thomas Dumerchez) who escaped the incident unharmed. And despite the scandal, Frank even allows himself to be the object of Camille's affections. But he slowly realizes that her attraction is a threat to him...

Strong supporting performances from Elodie Bouchez, Guy Marchand and Dumerchez take nothing away from the unmistakable talents of Deneuve, one of French cinema's most enduring stars. Her work here is outstanding.
