Good Grief: Nuanced Dramatic Debut Lands Long Awaited Release in Us
Initially premiering at the Locarno Film Festival in 2010, the directorial debut of Stephanie Chuat and Veronique Reymond, The Little Bedroom, at last gets a Us theatrical release after four years. Picking up several accolades during its extended festival circuit tour, the film was Switzerland’s submission for Best Foreign Language Film back in 2011. Notably, it may be one of the last chances to see Michel Bouquet in a lead role (though he’s also in 2012’s celebrated Renoir, which France submitted for the same accolade in 2013). An intersection of two individuals during a period of increasing desperation, both refusing to accept an innate truth about the present state of their situations, it’s a quietly affecting and genuinely moving portrait of grief, reconciliation, and the cruel inevitably of aging.

Review by Babara Snitzer
The Day I Saw Your Heart (Et Soudain Tout le Monde Me Manque) is a charming little film that has all the right ingredients but lacks that certain je ne sais quoi to make it a great movie……….

The Day I Saw Your Heart
Written and directed by Jennifer Devoldère
France, 2011
In Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise, Julie Delpy prophetically describes what it means to be French. Delpy’s Celine, while philosophizing with Ethan Hawke’s Jesse, says,
“Each time I wear black, or like, lose my temper, or say anything about anything, you know, they always go, “Oh it’s so French. It’s so cute”. Ugh! I hate that!”
The conceit of her outrage is that no matter what they do, or how they do it, French people have always been able to keep calm and carry on by virtue of being French.

The story follows the 27-year old eccentric, Justine (Mélanie Laurent), and her dysfunctional family, whose...
