Sandra (Léa Seydoux), a Parisian translator raising her young daughter alone, becomes increasingly involved in the care of her beloved father (Pascal Greggory), an erudite philosophy professor with a degenerative neurological condition.

When life seems to offer little space for romance, she reconnects with Clément (Melvil Poupaud), an old friend with whom the possibility of love emerges. This very personal film from Hansen-Løve excels in subtly conveying the complexities of life – acknowledging that even with the pain of losing a loved one, it still carries on.

Shot in 35mm, Paris is evocatively present and the cast delivers movingly poignant performances. Deceptively simple, it’s a film of great beauty and quiet power.

Baby Pictures 

Baby Pictures is open to carers and little ones of twelve months and under. As everyone in the cinema is a parent or carer, there’s no need to worry if it gets a little noisy. Everyone understands. Customers not accompanying a baby will be turned away.

The lights are turned up a little bit and the sound is a little softer to create a peaceful environment for you and the baby. It’s just for carers (Mum, Dad, Granny, Granda, whoever it is it looking after the tot) and babies. Up to two adults can come with a baby. Please note: we cannot allow babies over the age of 12 months to come to Baby Pictures.  

If you have any questions about Baby Pictures, please get in touch on qftmanager@qub.ac.uk.

Baby Pictures is supported by Film Hub NI.
