À propos de Joan: Drama starring Isabelle Huppert, who looks back on her life after an emotional encounter.
Film plot and background
Drama starring Isabelle Huppert, who looks back on her life after an emotional encounter.
Joan Verra (Isabelle Huppert) has several successful projects under her belt as a Paris-based publisher. But when she meets her first great love again on the streets of the French capital, she hastily leaves the hustle and bustle of the city behind to find peace in the old family country house. There she looks back on the last forty years of her life, such as her au pair time in Dublin, her great love, which, however, perished after a stay in prison and yet produced a child, her complicated relationship with her mother and all the time that has passed since then.
She is kept company not only by her now grown-up son (Swann Arlaud), whom she has not seen for a long time, but also by the eccentric writer Tim Ardenne (Lars Eidiniger), who has been in love with her for some time. When she receives a phone call telling her that her mother has secretly moved to France again and has now recently died, she needs the closeness of her son and her beau all the more.
“The time we share” – background, cast, cinema release
2022 Isabelle Huppert (“Elle”) was awarded the Golden Bear for lifetime achievement at the 72nd Berlinale, and immediately presented her latest film “The Time We Share”. The film by director Laurent Larivière (“I am a Soldier”) explores the question of how a seasoned woman has mastered her life to date, without crampedly examining all eras in detail, but looking back from the present.
In addition to Huppert, the cast includes stars such as Lars Eidinger (“Persian Lessons”), Swann Arlaud (“Praised be God”), Freya Mavor (“Trautmann”) and Stanley Townsend (“The Song of Names”). On 31 August 2022, “The Time We Share” will be released in German cinemas.
