Private Property April 3, 2009

FLICS presents Private Property.

Dir: Joachim Lafosse, France, 2007, 92 min, R

An impeccably acted character drama revolving around a mother and her teenage twin sons, "Private Property" shows how strong and how terrifying the bonds within families can be. Pascale (Isabelle Huppert) lives with her twin teenage sons, Francois and Thierry, in a beautiful old farmhouse bought by her ex-husband after an acrimonious divorce. Although loving and ostensibly supportive of one another, each is still reeling from the break-up. When Pascale falls in love again, her happiness sets off a fratricidal war that threatens to destroy the family. In French with English subtitles.
