UK title is about as lazy as you can get. 'Ce Qui Nous Lié' means 'What binds us', rather more pertinent than the bland offering here. However, Cédric's new film is wonderful, moving, funny and with a keen sense of the country and family. In fact - thinking about it - all his films are about relationships, many intra-familial. Pio Marmaï is the prodigal son returning to the family domain, looked after by his sister Ana Girardot in close proximity to younger brother François Civil. Cue flashbacks and great script from Klapisch and Santiago Amigorena.
With Jean-Marc Roulot, Maria Valverde, Yamée Couture, Jean-Marie Winling, Florence Pernel and Karidja Touré (who we notice doesn't turn up for the next year's harvest, and hopefully has started to travel).
It's nicely shot by Alexis Kavyrchine in Panavision (we guess it must have been filmed over a year), good music from Loïc Dury and Christophe 'Disco' Minck.
Loved the imagined conversations between people in long shot, and the drunken scene of dropped consonants.
