The arrival of the future: the Klapisch family is renewed (critic)
A double initiatory story that made the Paris of 1895 dialogue with that of today and where the sense of casting and the direction of actors of Klapisch still flies.
From Young perilinspired by its high school years, youth is the engine of Cédric Klapisch’s cinema which has been able to tell the exaltations (The Spanish Auberge…) Like torments (Two me…) Without ever losing contact with her, over the years. And it is still at the heart of this Coming from the futurebuilt as a dialogue between the bets of 1895 and today. Where the investigation carried out by four cousins (including Seb, a young video content director) on the house they have just inherited with several family members leads them in the footsteps of a Norman ancestor rich in mysteries. Adèle who landed in Paris at 20, at the end of the 19th century in a city in the midst of a cultural revolution (the birth of cinema, impressionism …) of which she will meet some mythical figures (from Monet to Sarah Bernhardt).
Klapisch does not always avoid the traps linked to the reconstruction of this time but never falls into that of “it was better before”. Because this rein vision is not part of its DNA. And because he builds his film on the way Adèle and Seb reclaim their lives, each in their time, ignoring what they are assigned to. In these times when the future scares, Klapisch celebrates the notion of the future. Without ever giving up anything but by highlighting a bunch of young irresistible actors whose enthusiasm to direct them for the first time bursts the screen. With the leading figures Suzanne Lindon and Abraham Wapler in her first big role in the cinema.
