*** THE NEW FRANCOIS OZON'S FILM IS OPENING IN US THEATRES THIS WEEK !: "WHEN FALL IS COMING", a drama, comedy, co-written by François Ozon. Starring Hélène Vincent, Josiane Balasko, Ludivine Sagnier, Pierre Lottin, Garland Erlos, Sophie Guillemin, Malik Zidi, Paul Beaurepaire. Official Selection San Sebastian International Film Festival 2024, Rendez-Vous With French Cinema in New York 2025. César Award Nomination 2025 for Best Actress (Hélène Vincent). In French with English subtitles. A Music Box Films release. Opening in US theatres on April 4, 2025 (Check your local calendar).
.
* Official US Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEGhDL1WdnQ
.
(After a tumultuous life in Paris, Michelle (Hélène Vincent) has retired to a quiet existence in Burgundy, tending her garden and attending services at her parish. The voracious hostility of her adult daughter Valérie (Ludivine Sagnier) remains Michelle’s great puzzlement: how can a child for whom she sacrificed so much treat her with such contempt and suspicion? When Valérie drops off her son for a week with his grandmother, Michelle sees an opportunity to repair the relationship, but a culinary accident soon undercuts whatever trust remains. With the help of her best friend Marie-Claude (Josiane Balasko), whose son (Pierre Lottin) has recently been released from prison, Michelle plots a path towards restoring the family life so long denied to her. With a deceptively placid surface, master stylist François Ozon cooks up a twisty and destabilizing thriller where family ties remain the most mysterious ingredient of all.)

.
(Scrappy 18-year-old Totone is as irresponsible as they come, partying all night and sleeping it off all day. So his father’s sudden death is like a splash of cold water across his face, thrusting him into adulthood without warning. Now forced to care for his little sister, tend the failing family farm and somehow make a living, he decides that his magical “big fix” will come by winning a gold medal for the best Comté cheese at the next agricultural competition… and collecting the €30,000 grand prize. But attaining discipline, not to mention culinary excellence, is not nearly as easy as he thinks. It’s a little like his best buddy’s beloved stock car racing — sometimes you have to take a tumble or two before you can move forward. Louise Courvoisier‘s coming-of-age first feature, Holy Cow, illustrates that bumpy path to maturity in minute, heartfelt detail.)

*** TAFFF CLASSIC *** The Restored version of Luis Buñuel's "DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID" (1964) will be released on digital on March 25 *** Watch at home through TAFFF LIBRARY 4 French films co-written and directed by Luis Buñuel: "BELLE DE JOUR" (1967), "TRISTANA" (1970), THE DISCREET CHARM OF THE BOURGEOISIE" (1972), "THAT OBSCUR OBJECT OF DESIRE" (1978). More info: theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org/virtual-cinema/classic/
.
** "DIARY OF A CHAMBERMAID". A drama written by Luis Buñuel & Jean-Claude Carrière. Based on the Book by: Octave Mirbeau.
Directed by: Luis Buñuel. Starring: Jeanne Moreau, Georges Géret, Michel Piccoli, Françoise Lugagne, Jean Ozenne, Daniel Ivernel. In French With English Subtitles. A Kino Lorber Release. On Digital on March 25, 2025.
.
(An exquisitely enigmatic Jeanne Moreau (The Bride Wore Black) is the chambermaid Célestine, who takes a position with a decadent family on a pre-WWII Normandy estate and finds herself in the middle of a hotbed of hypocrisy and perversion. The old man has a foot fetish, his daughter is a frigid hysteric, her husband a dissolute rake, the gamekeeper a racist and sadist, while the fascist neighbor compulsively throws his garbage on their property. When a child is raped and murdered, Célestine becomes obsessed with discovering and exposing the killer, even though she finds herself attracted to him. Adapted from the Octave Mirbeau novel by cinema’s grand surrealist and satirist of the bourgeoisie, Luis Buñuel (Belle de Jour), Diary of a Chambermaid exerts a hypnotic fascination with the erotic while striking out against human hypocrisy and moral decay. Co-starring Michel Piccoli (Max and the Junkmen) and co-scripted by Buñuel’s frequent cohort, Jean-Claude Carrière (The Milky Way).)

.
(It’s the early 1970s. The illegitimate daughter of a French character actor, Maria (Anamaria Vartolomei) is an aspiring young actress, herself. At 19, she miraculously lands the female lead in a groundbreaking feature film by a brilliant up-and-coming Italian director. She’ll be playing opposite one of America’s most formidable movie stars. But what seems like a dream come true turns out to be a nightmare. The actress is Maria Schneider. Her co-star is Marlon Brando. The director is Bernardo Bertolucci. The movie is Last Tango in Paris. A highly erotic art film, its raw depiction of rape and graphic sexuality led to international controversy and drew various levels of censorship around the world. The MPAA gave the film an X rating. Bertolucci and Brando both received suspended two-month prison sentences in Italy. But long before the advent of #MeToo and intimacy counsellors, the real toll of the brutal, intentionally calculated on-set sexual and emotional manipulation fell upon Schneider. It devastated her entire life.)
