A New Release from Rialto - 96% rating Rotten Tomatoes (France). Directed by Francois Ozon. Thriller/Comedy, 1hr42 mins.
Michelle is enjoying a peaceful retirement in a Burgundy village, close to her longtime friend Marie-Claude. When her Parisian daughter Valérie drops off her son Lucas to spend school vacation with his grandma, Michelle, stressed out by her daughter, serves her toxic mushrooms for lunch. Valérie quickly recovers, but forbids her mother from seeing her grandson anymore. Feeling lonely and guilty, Michelle falls into a depression... until Marie-Claude's son gets out of prison.
"Director François Ozon deftly walks a tonal tightrope with When Fall is Coming, a darkly funny thriller given genuine humanity by Hélène Vincent."
"Nuanced and gripping. When Fall is Coming is skilful in building tension, while weaving mystery and moral dilemmas into a layered family drama."
