Let the Sunshine In
- 2017
- 1h 34min
- Directed by: Claire Denis
- Cast: Juliette Binoche, Philippe Katerine, Xavier Beauvois
Isabelle (Binoche) is a powerfully sexy middle-aged woman who for some reason can’t find a half-decent mate; on this farcical plot, Denis hangs an idiosyncratic, empathetic and intimate comedy, adapted from Roland Barthes’ A Lover’s Discourse with a wonderful sense of the absurd. Binoche is self-deprecating and achingly human.
