MADEMOISELLE CHAMBON (2009)
A film by Stéphane Brizé
Following the international success of NOT HERE TO BE LOVED,
acclaimed French director Stéphane Brizé returns with
MADEMOISELLE CHAMBON, a meticulously crafted romantic
drama. Based on the novel by Éric Holder, MADEMOISELLE
CHAMBON was awarded Best Adapted Screenplay at the 2010
César Awards.
Starring Vincent Lindon (ANYTHING FOR HER) and Sandrine
Kiberlain (A SELF MADE HERO), MADEMOISELLE CHAMBON is
an elegant and moving tale of an unexpected romance between a
married man, Jean (Lindon), and his son's school teacher,
Véronique Chambon (Kiberlain). As their feelings for each other
slowly take hold, Jean and Veronique, who come from vastly
different worlds, reach a painful turning point that will affect their
lives forever.
A story of forbidden love that has bewitched audiences and critics
worldwide, and featuring Franz von Vescey’s unforgettable Valse Triste, MADEMOISELLE CHAMBON
is a "heart-breaking and emotionally ambiguous twist on Brief Encounter" (Time Out) that reaches
deep into our most hidden desires and the perilous path on which they lead us.
