The Wolberg Family
Newly Added
•
1h 22m
Directed by Axelle Ropert • 2009 • France
Starring François Damiens, Valérie Benguigui, Léopoldine Serre
Axelle Ropert made the leap from film critic and screenwriter (and frequent Serge Bozon collaborator) to director with this bittersweet domestic tragicomedy, the first of her tender and richly stylized looks at the complexities of family relationships. Simon Wolberg (François Damiens), mayor of a small provincial town, knows more about American soul music than what is happening in his family. His wife is becoming distant, his daughter is soon to leave the nest, his son is angry, and his brother-in-law is drifting through life. Soon, private worlds collide.
