Sacrebleu, how pleased I am that Koreeda has discovered the joys of French bourgeois talk drama! Juliette Binoche, colonizer of arthouse cinema, is on a veritable crusade against Third World authors. After Kiarostami and Hou, Koreeda is now also going for the axe. And then you all can come and say that this is Koreeda grand koru, because it is about family ties and there are strong child roles, but I defy any bungler to clarify me to what extent this film differs from, say, Le Voyage du Ballon Rouge. Let's face it, Juliette Binoche is just the author of this movie. That La Vérité would be meta, because Deneuve laughs a bit with her own persona and so on, is rubbish, after all, she always does. What I would really find meta is a docufiction where we see how the tournage of such a Binoche / foreign Cannes celebrity filmmaker combo works. I imagine a timid Asian, who nods very benevolently every time Binoche again offers an adaptation to the screenplay on a whim because she came up with something that sympa or chouette or maybe even rigolo would be. And admit, rigolo it all is. The generation gap between Deneuve and Binoche is jokingly portrayed, the former nostalgic for the France of yesteryear, the latter a prototype of the hip, English-speaking global elite in the age of Macron. Deneuve's contempt for the new, multicultural France is evident, especially in the scene where she reflects with great disdain in a desolate Chinese restaurant on the downfall of her proud nation-state. I also found Ethan Hawke surprisingly strong, in a moment of rare self-relativization he reaches Tom Skerrit heights in terms of brilliant pathos. Enough laughter! I'm already curious where le voyage de la matrone rouge will lead us: Chang-dong Lee, Gan Bi and Xiaoshuai Wang, be warned!

A beautiful cast in this French drama. Too bad the story was a little less. I wasn't really blown out of my socks anyway. Nice to have seen once, but it's not a film that will stay with me.
