When Autumn Falls
.png)
François Ozon
In a picturesque village in Burgundy, Michelle (Hélène Vincent) looks forward to spending the summer with her grandson, but his stay is cancelled when Michelle accidentally serves his mother poisonous mushrooms. When her friend Marie-Claude’s (Josiane Balasko) son is released from prison, her purpose is revived and she feels less lonely, until things take an interesting turn. Ozon’s idyllic autumn tale of a kind grandmother is secretly solemn and serious. This is a film made for its lead actress, a veteran of French stage and film.
