A Season in France
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Mahamet-Saleh Haroun
2017 / 100min / DCP
Chadean filmmaker Haroun’s first film set in his long-time adoptive home of France is an understated but enormously affecting depiction of the travails faced by undocumented African immigrants in Europe, starring Eriq Ebouaney as a stubbornly prideful, trauma-wracked refugee from the Central African Republic Civil War, a recent widower struggling against impossible odds to build a better life for his son, daughter, and himself; and Bibi Tanga as his brother, both former academics forced to scramble after menial jobs in a pitiless Paris. “A deeply felt, compassionate film about refugees who find that one of their bitterest abasements is the loss of dignity and status.”—The Guardian
