"I've Love You So Long" (Il y a longtemps que je t'aime)
Winner, Ecumenical Jury Prize, 2008 Berlin Film Festival
Winner, Berliner Morgenpost Reader Jury Prize, 2008 Berlin Film Festival
Official Selection, 2008 Toronto Film Festival
Author-turned-director Philippe Claudel's profoundly moving film examines the role of family and forgiveness in an utterly fresh new way, in a story marked equally by intelligence, kindheartedness and grace, and sparked by outstanding performances from Oscar-winner Kristin Scott Thomas and rising talent Elsa Zylberstein. Released from prison after serving 15 years for committing a shocking crime, Juliette (Kristin Scott Thomas) moves in with her younger sister (Elsa Zylberstein) and her sister's family. Hardened by her prison stretch and the agonizing emotions she has locked away within her, the readjustment to normal life is difficult for Juliette, with her sister's happy life of family and friends seeming strange to her, even a rebuke. What follows is a series of small steps--and the occasional setback--as Juliette gradually learns to open up and accept people back into her life.
DIR/SCR Philippe Claudel; PROD Yves Marmion. France, 2008, color, 115 min. In French and English with English subtitles. RATED PG-13

Reception to follow screening, courtesy of the EU Delegation Commission.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
