French film show: A tender story of motherly love


Critic Manon Kerjean takes us through the week’s French film releases, starting with an assured début from Alice Vial. “You Found Me” deals with medical emergencies, mortality and a medium who helps souls leave our earthly realm, managing to balance its heavy subject matter with a gentle tone. We also discuss “Love Me Tender”, Anna Cazenave Cambet’s adaptation of a novel by author Constance Debré, in which a mother is left fighting for the right to raise her child. Motherhood is also a theme in Jérôme Bonnell’s film “The Condition”, which explores the power dynamics in a bourgeois home in early 20th century France, and we check out the psychologically driven “The Girl Without a Name”, featuring an impressive performance from young actress Diane Rouxel.
