From France, The New Philippe Garrel Film!
Frontier of Dawn
By Philippe Garrel
“In Garrel’s stunningly beautiful new film, shot in glorious black-and-white, his son Louis plays François, a young photographer who has been hired to do a photo shoot with actress Carole (Laura Smet). They fall in love, but he balks at her emotional volatility and finds a convenient excuse to ditch her. She is committed to a mental institution and soon commits suicide. One year later, François embarks on a new relationship with Eve (Clémentine Poidatz), less unhinged and far wealthier. But the promise of stability is undone by an apparition of the purest and darkest romanticism: the face of Carole in the mirror, calling François to join her in oblivion.” (Film Comment) (2008, 106 min, 35mm)
