One Fine Morning

One Fine Morning is an engaging romantic drama about a woman and her emotional journey towards happiness. Sandra (Lea Seydoux) is a widowed young mother raising her daughter on her own, while also caring for her sick father (Pascal Greggory). She’s dealing with the loss of the relationship she once had with her father, while she and her mother and sister fight to get him the care he requires. At the same time, Sandra reconnects with Clément (Melvil Poupaud), a friend she hasn’t seen in a while and, although he’s married, their friendship soon blossoms into a passionate affair. At the 2022 Cannes Film Festival the film won the Europa Cinemas Label Award for Best European Film. [2022, France, 102 min, Rating: R, in French with English subtitles] Mick LaSalle of the San Francisco Chronicle writes, “With a subject matter like this,One Fine Morning could only be a French film, but it’s no routine French film. In its quiet, no-fuss way, it constitutes something of a breakthrough.” Screening times are 1 pm on Fri (April 7) and 5 pm on Mon (April 10).
