La Petite Lili

Original Title: La petite Lili Country of Origin: France / Quebec (Canada) (2003) French with English Subtitles - 104 minutes Genre: Drama Distributor: Équinoxe / Flach Pyramide Directed by Claude Miller Starring   Nicole Garcia, Bernard Giraudeau, Jean-Pierre Marielle, Ludivine Sagnier, Robinson Stévenin, Julie Depardieu, Yves Jacques, Anne Le Ny, Marc Betton, Michel Piccoli... The masterful Claude Miller transposes Chekhov’s “The Seagull” to modern Brittany where a group of filmmakers pass a languid summer ripe with eternal conflicts between youth and maturity, idealism and cynicism. At her country home, actress Mado (Nicole Garcia) entertains her current lover, director Brice (Bernard Giraudeau) and her intense son Julien (Robinson Stevenin). An experimental filmmaker, Julien is involved with the ambitious Lili (Ludivine Sagnier). But she is fascinated by Brice and suggests they abandon their current partners and flee to Paris. Five years later, Julien is about to shoot a feature film about that summer. Lili is now a well-known actress and no longer with Brice. Will she get to play herself? Miller is generous to all his characters, reserving judgment as they attempt to define their relationships and responsibilities. “A mature, mellow tranche of French humanist cinema flecked with sly wit and an excellent cast” - Variety Official Selection: Cannes 2003 Awards: Best Actress - Ludivine Sagnier (Chicago Film Festival) Nominations: Césars 2004, Best Director - Claude Miller; Best Supporting Actor - Jean-Pierre Marielle; Best Newcomer, Actress - Julie Depardieu
