HALF SISTER, FULL LOVE

Director: Marion Vernoux


Marion Vernoux (Bright Days Ahead, 2013) reimagines Seattle filmmaker Lynn Shelton’s Your Sister’s Sister (2011), in the landscapes of Brittany. Pierrick (Grégoire Ludig), still mourning his brother’s recent death, accepts an offer to spend a week on his own in Tessa’s (Géraldine Nakache) family home. On arrival, he finds the house already occupied by heart-broken Marie (Virginie Efira), Tessa’s half-sister, who came there to heal her wounds. After a particularly drunken night, followed by Tessa’s unforeseen arrival, the trio progress from awkward situations to unexpected revelations… (MPR)
Director’s Note: Unfolding with humour and skillfull accuracy, Vernoux’s rigour and delicacy combine with the great generosity of the actors, three rising stars of French comedy.
Showing as part of the IFI French Film Festival 2015 (November 18th – 29th)
