November’s movie is Petite Maman.
A tender and delicate tale about an 8-year-old girl who, while helping clean out her deceased grandmother’s house, meets another young girl in the woods who turns out to be her mother as a child. Directed by Céline Sciamma, the film explores themes of grief, mother-daughter relationships, and childhood with a touch of magical realism.
“Céline Sciamma’s luminous Petite Maman is a once-upon-a-time tale with a twist. Set in present-day France, in an isolated hamlet made for solitude and imagination, it is a story about family ties, childhood reveries and unanswerable questions.
It’s also a story about finding someone who, like the final piece of a jigsaw puzzle—the piece you knew existed but just needed you to find it—completes the picture. Put differently, it is a story about love.”
