PETITE MAMAN

PETITE MAMAN
May 14, 15, 19, 20, 22, 26
Céline Sciamma continues to prove herself as one of the most accomplished and unpredictable contemporary French filmmakers with her follow up to PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE, the uniquely emotional, PETITE MAMAN. Following the death of her beloved grandmother, 8-year-old Nelly accompanies her parents to her mother’s childhood home to begin the difficult process of cleaning out its contents. As Nelly explores the house and nearby woods, she is immediately drawn to a neighbor her own age building a treehouse. What follows is a tender tale of childhood grief, memory and connection.

“Goes straight into my list of the greatest films ever made for children of all ages.” – Mark Kermode, Observer

“Sciamma has made another gem of a film. Not only is she one of the best directors working today, but she is also, quite simply, an incredible storyteller who loves her characters.” – Kevin L. Lee, Film Inquiry
