Let The Sunshine In (15)
Juliette Binoche is both incandescent and emotionally raw in Claire Denis’s latest, a romantic comedy (really!) about a middle-aged Parisian woman in search of love.
Isabelle is back on the trail of true love after a messy divorce. Her passion burns brightly, but as she finds comfort in the arms of an array of men she wonders just what exactly she's seeking - and whether sex and companionship are the keys to fulfilment. Romantic comedy isn't a genre normally associated with Denis, but this isn't your normal run-of-the-mill rom-com. Denis explores Isabelle's complicated love life in her own way. This is grown up filmmaking at its best.
Dir. Claire Denis, Fr/Belgium, 2017, 94 mins, subtitles.
Cast. Juliette Binoche, Xavier Beauvois, Philippe Katerine.
