Mathieu Amalric

Arnaud Desplechin directs Mathieu Amalric in this whirlwind melodrama, a sequel of sorts to the director’s epic My Sex Life…or How I Got Into an Argument. Subtly evoking the free-wheeling nature of youth, My Golden Days is a personal, emotionally resonant portrait of adolescence.

Winner of the Europa Cinemas award at Cannes (a top prize in the Directors’ Fortnight sidebar), La Moustache is an eerie psychological drama in the spirit of Kafka with shades of Hitchcock, building outward beguilingly from the most simple—and bizarre—of premises.
