We are delighted to welcome the French Film Festival back to QFT for its 24th edition – featuring the crême de la crême of contemporary and classic French-speaking cinema.
A sumptuous 19th-century period drama by Danièle Thompson which stars Guillaume Gallienne as post-impressionist painter Paul Cézanne and Guillaume Canet as Émile Zola.
Thompson’s sixth feature charts the decade-long friendship and eventual fallout between Cézanne, who was born into a wealthy family but struggled to make a living as a painter, and Zola, who came from a family of more straitened circumstances but achieved fame and prosperity as a politically-engaged novelist.
“Propelled by the pleasure of wonderful literary prose and the visual magic of a masterful painter.” – Mondociné
