Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
In Verderonne, a small village in the Oise, it's the first day of summer and Claire Darling wakes up convinced to live her last day - She then decides to empty her house and brade everything without distinction, Tiffany lamps to the collection clock. The objects so loved echo her tragic and flamboyant life. This last madness brings back Mary, her daughter, whom she has not seen for 20 years.
"The presence of French diva Catherine Deneuve is already enough reason to watch 'La dernière folie de Claire Darling', but there are still more. We are faced with a narrative made from female voices, which tell us about their ghosts, wounds and anguish. Director Julie Bertuccelli ('The Tree') skillfully weaves a journey through the memories of a matriarch that fades away from an incipient senility. At the center of the film there is also a mother-daughter relationship, impeccably performed by Deneuve and Chiara Mastroianni, who are actually mother and daughter in real life."
