After their mother’s death, three siblings converge at their family’s country estate to decide the fate of her prized possessions. “[W]hat is lost here are not the objects but presences, ways of life, perhaps the very things that are inspirations for art,” says Assayas in Filmmaker. This elegiac and exquisite film, starring Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling, and Jérémie Renier, won the Best Foreign Film award from each of the Los Angeles, New York, Boston, and National societies of film critics. 2008, 35mm, in English and French with English subtitles, 103 minutes.
