When Mathieu receives a phone call from the theater director whose production he has abandoned, the director's voice is played by filmmaker Stéphane Brizé himself.
Winter Moon RisingWritten by Michael Alan Levine & Samuel B Levine
This French movie by Stéphane Brizé is a sensitive drama/romance, as old lovers meet anew in a different stage of their lives.
I am somewhat torn, because the movie's depiction of their (re)connection is well nuanced and plays true, while there are moments of subtle humor and cute interplays
For example, there is a wedding scene where two men "sing" (whistle) as birds to one another, conversing rather eloquently and magnetically – would watch this spin-off.
However, added to the very familiar beats of the story, it all lacks the weight to justify this outdrawn treatment
However, the movie is painfully slow, emotionally terrible and at almost two hours exceeds what would have made it a more effective runtime his ailing characters, which are aptly depicted.
