House by the Sea (12a)
French with English subtitles
Palace Cinema Broadstairs
Director Robert Guediguian again casts French national treasure Jean-Pierre Darroussin (Le Havre, Red Lights) and of course his wife Ariane Ascaride (multi-award winning both for her husband and many other filmmakers – Marie-Jo and Her 2 Lovers).
This time we are in a small bay near Marseilles at a villa owned by an old man. His three children have gathered by his side for his last days: Angela, an actress living in Paris, Joseph, who has just fallen in love with a girl half his age and Armand, the only one who stayed behind in Marseilles to run the family’s small restaurant. It’s time for them to weigh up what they have inherited of their father’s ideals and the community spirit he created in this magical place. The arrival, at a nearby cove, of a group of boat people will throw these moments of reflection into turmoil.
