Petite Solange
1h 26m
Directed by Axelle Ropert • 2021 • France
Starring Jade Springer, Léa Drucker, Philippe Katerine
Taking a child’s-eye view of a disintegrating family, director Axelle Ropert offers a supremely sensitive, richly layered reimagining of the divorce drama. Solange (Jade Springer, in a revelatory performance) is a typical thirteen-year-old, curious and full of life. When her parents begin to argue and gradually drift apart, Solange’s world splinters, leaving her increasingly isolated as she attempts to navigate this complicated new reality. Attuned to subtle sensory and emotional details, Ropert immerses us in the world of a girl on the cusp of adolescence who wants the impossible: for love to never end.
