The Wolberg Family
La Famille Wolberg (original)
Axelle Ropert made the leap from film critic and screenwriter (and frequent Serge Bozon collaborator) to director with this bittersweet domestic tragicomedy, the first of her tender and richly stylized looks at the complexities of family relationships. Simon Wolberg (François Damiens), mayor of a small provincial town, knows more about American soul music than what is happening in his family. His wife is becoming distant, his daughter is soon to leave the nest, his son is angry, and his brother-in-law is drifting through life. Soon, private worlds collide.
Starring François Damiens, Valérie Benguigui, Valentin Vigourt, Léopoldine Serre, Guillaume Verdier, Serge Bozon, Jean-Christophe Bouvet, Jean-Luc Bideau, Laurent Mothe, Éva Ionesco
