Martin Provost re-teams with Séraphine star Yolande Moreau for this heartfelt drama, based on Keith Ridgway’s novel. The film follows the story of a long-suffering wife who takes revenge and bonds with her gay son in this suspenseful one-of-a-kind story of sin and salvation. –Rendezvous with French Cinema

Director

Martin Provost

Martin Provost was born in 1957 in the town of Brest. After some years in Paris pursuing the acting career for which he had left his native Brittany, Martin Provost turned to writing and directing. He shot two shorts before tackling his ﬁrst full-length feature, Tortilla y Cinema (1997). He followed that up with Le Ventre de Juliette (Juliette’s Stomach) in 2003 and the international hit Séraphine in 2008, with Yolande Moreau in the lead role, which won no less than seven Césars in 2009. —institutfrancais.com
