On The Couch: Rose (film screening)

On The Couch goes to the movies. As part of the 30th UK Jewish Film Festival, we’re screening Rose at BNJC.

ROSE
Dir. Aurélie Saada. France, 2020, 103 mins, French with English subtitles

Françoise Fabian (My Night at Maud’s, Belle de Jour, Call My Agent), Grégory Montel (Call My Agent) and Aure Atika (The Night Manager, OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies) star in this warm-hearted Parisian Jewish family drama. When patriarch Philippe dies, his wife Rose feels that her life is over. A chance dinner party, however, reignites her joie de vivre, much to the discomfort of her three loving but somewhat dysfunctional children. Unsure how to deal with this new, vivacious version of their mother, Rose’s children’s concerns can’t stop her celebrating life again.

Honest, beautifully observed and laced with a treasure trove of Yiddish and Mizrahi songs, this is a life-affirming and accomplished debut feature from director Aurélie Saada.

Screened with thanks to UK Jewish Film.
