Three by Diane Kurys
Featuring an archival interview with Kurys In a career spanning five decades, French filmmaker Diane Kurys has mined the raw material of her own life and family history to create richly realized portraits of female relationships that overflow with wit and warmth. This selection features her effervescent feature debut, Peppermint Soda , a gently comic, autobiographical tale of two sisters coming of age in 1960s Paris; her Oscar-nominated drama Entre nous , the bittersweet story of an intimate friendship between two women in postwar France based on her own mother’s life and starring Isabelle Huppert; and Children of the Century , a sumptuous period romance starring Juliette Binoche as the iconoclastic writer George Sand. Though she is often overlooked in the pantheon of great contemporary French auteurs, Kurys makes films that manage to be at once deeply personal and universally resonant.
