Those Were the Days

Set in the maze-like corridors (and bedrooms) of an elite French academy, this stunning murder mystery stars one of France’s brightest young performers – Élodie Bouchez (co-winner of the 1998 Cannes Best Actress Award for… The Dream Life of Angels). Here, Bouchez witnesses the suicide of a fellow student (played by the remarkable Sophie Aubry, from [Olivier] Assayas’ A New Live) – determined to get to the bottom of the girl’s death, Bouchez finds herself drawn into overlapping affairs with the girl’s ex-lover (Melvil Poupaud) and brother (Gael Morel, from Wild Reeds). “Élodie Bouchez has a virtually disturbing grace that few actors have.” –director Didier Haudepin. –Egyptian Theatre
