Let the sunshine in = Un beau soleil intérieur

Let the sunshine in Un beau soleil intérieur

DVD - 2019

"Two luminaries of French cinema, Claire Denis and Juliette Binoche, unite for the first time in this piercing look at the elusive nature of true love, and the extent to which we are willing to betray ourselves in its pursuit. Binoche plays Isabelle, a successful painter in Paris whose apparent independence belies what she desires most: real romantic fulfillment. Isabelle reveals deep wells of yearning, vulnerability, and resilience as she tumbles into relationships with all the wrong men. Shot in burnished tones by Denis's longtime collaborator Agnès Godard and featuring a mischievous appearance by Gérard Depardieu, Let the Sunshine In Ifinds bleak humor in a cutting truth: we are all, no matter our age, fools for love"--C...ontainer.

Review by Library Journal Review

Desperately looking for l'amour with all the wrong guys, an accomplished painter (Juliette Binoche) gets involved with a married banker, an actor who really hasn't separated from his wife, and her ex-husband--until their latest argument. By turns incandescent and bedraggled, the always reliable Binoche makes her self-defeating character sympathetic despite a propensity for bad choices. Another French-cinema icon, Gerard Depardieu, has a small but interesting role as a psychic providing sage advice. Filmmaker Claire Denis makes a potentially off-putting storyline relatable.
