Our take
In what is one of Alain Resnais’ most exuberant projects, three grandiloquent tales set in the same house explore, through time, utopian ideas, education, and the power of the imagination! With Fanny Ardant, Geraldine Chaplin, and Sabine Azéma, in her first collaboration with the director.
