It marks Hansen-Love’s follow up to “Bergman Island” which competed at last year’s Cannes. Seydoux is also on hand in Cannes for the premiere of David Cronenberg’s “Crimes of the Future.”The intimate drama earned rave reviews across the board for both Hansen-Love and Seydoux, and is already being buzzed about as a potential awards contender.
Variety‘s Guy Lodge described the film as a “wistful, wandering character study” and “gently moving reflection on parenting one’s children and parents at once,” which marks Hansen-Løve’s “return to French, and to form.” Seydoux stars in the film as a young mother trying to care for her ailing father, fighting to get him the care he requires, while embarking on a passionate affair with Clément, a charming yet emotionally unavailable man. Pascal Greggory and Melvil Poupaud complete the cast.“Mia Hansen-Love has a 21st century voice that is comparable to the best of Truffaut,” said Sony Pictures Classics.
“Lea Seydoux gives her finest performance to date. The fusion of performance, sound and visual storytelling here achieve a perfection, making ‘One Fine Morning’ one of the truly great French movies,” added SPC.The company said that “in addition to finally being able to work with Mia, what a pleasure to be in business with producer Charles Gillibert and our friends at Films du Losange
