 FRENCH AMBASSADOR

JEAN-PIERRE THEBAULT

The Embassy of France in Australia is proud to be a partner of the 33rd Alliance

Française French Film Festival. For more than three decades, this widely celebrated
Festival has been presenting the best of French excellence on the big screen.
Last year it reached unparalleled heights, featuring several world premieres and attracting
over 170,000 patrons.
Courage, generosity, equality, and team spirit are recurring themes which
demonstrate France’s determination to address contemporary challenges positively.
This richness is evident in the selection of 42 movies for the Festival this year which will
provide a film that everyone can enjoy. In fact, they will surely find several!
This year’s Festival would not have been possible without the unwavering support from
Palace Cinemas, Alliances Françaises, sponsors, partners, and distributors who have
continuously offered the Festival a selection of movies highlighting the richness and
diversity of French cinema to our ever-growing and faithful audience.
This success also owes much to a dedicated audience and the positive word-of-mouth
which the Alliance Française French Film Festival generates.
There is hope. The Festival is the best demonstration that we can still dream together -
and start a new beginning.

H.E. Jean-Pierre Thébault is the Ambassador of France to Australia

KARINE MAURIS

Storytelling is in the DNA of human nature and cinema is one of our most
profound ways to share those stories. Despite the challenges of the past 2 years,
French filmmakers have continued to create entertaining and thought-provoking content.
Just as the last edition of the Alliance Française French Film Festival marked new
milestones, including record audiences despite a pandemic, the 33rd Festival will feature 42
films, covering a wide spectrum of genres and again including several Australian premieres
and many world premieres! This year’s program also sees 4 directors making their feature
film debut.
The opening movie Lost Illusions is a masterpiece told with panache and covers a subject
matter very relevant to our times. Overall, the line-up presents a window to the challenges
of now and tomorrow’s world. French cinema presents a snapshot of our society,
the society we want to build together with generosity and a sense of commitment.
We also need to laugh and escape from these bewildering times. The AF FFF 2022
features several comedies, many beautiful tales of romance and compelling stories.
You will travel to France, Lebanon, Mali, Russia, Canada, Tibet, the North Pole and many
other places… and meet fascinating characters that will take you into the whirlwind
of life. They are free, wild and deeply seductive, rather like Alain Delon in Purple Noon,
our Classic movie. The 33rd edition of the Alliance Française French Film Festival is a
welcome Ode a la Vie!

Karine Mauris is the Cultural Attachée of the French Embassy, and has been the
Artistic Director of the Alliance Française French Film Festival since 2020.

PHILLIP NOYCE
Born in Griffith, New South Wales, Noyce,
began making short films at the age of 18,
inspired by a screening of US and Australian
experimental films, leading him to pursue a
career in cinema.
After graduating from Sydney University,
he joined the Australian Film, Television and
Radio School in 1973, and released his first
professional film in 1975.
Noyce would go on to create a number of
Australian feature films and television series
from 1977 to 1988, grabbing Hollywood’s
attention with Dead Calm (1988) which
launched the career of Nicole Kidman.
This gave Noyce a gateway to critical and
commercial success in the US, going on to
work with the likes of Harrison Ford, Angelina
Jolie, Denzel Washington, and Michael
Caine. Though Noyce’s most important

“The French New wave of the late
50’s and 60’s had an enormous
influence on the so called Australian

that independent movies could be
successful outside the conveyor

LOST ILLUSIONS
ILLUSIONS PERDUES

DRAMA | FRANCE | 2021 | 149 MIN | CTC

DIRECTED BY:
Xavier Giannoli

STARRING:
Benjamin Voisin, Vincent Lacoste, Salomé
Dewaels, Cécile de France, Xavier Dolan

LANGUAGE:
French with English subtitles

An all-star cast dazzles in the spectacular and

exhilarating new film by Xavier Giannoli (Marguerite,
AF FFF16; The Singer, AF FFF13), an adaptation of
Balzac’s classic novel about a young idealist who
learns that anything can be bought and sold.
1821. Handsome poet Lucien (Benjamin Voisin -
Moving On and Summer of 85, AF FFF21 - in a star-
making turn) is poor, but highly ambitious. Failing to
make a name for himself in his provincial hometown,
he naively follows his married patroness (a radiant
Cécile de France) to the glamorous beau monde
of Paris.
But Lucien has entered a society far more dangerous
than he realised, and the venomous denizens of
the salons (brought to life by a superb ensemble
including Jeanne Balibar, Gérard Depardieu and
Xavier Dolan) conspire to keep him out of their ranks.
Lucien is forced to abandon his principles and find
work at a low-brow newspaper, where his scathing
critiques soon cause a sensation and arouse the
interest of admirers and publishers. But in a society
where profit and status rule, what is really left
for Lucien?
Epic in scope and impact, Lost Illusions is an eerily
prescient fable bracingly attuned to the anxieties of
the modern media age. This is grand French cinema
at its most lavish, and finest.

DIRECTED BY:
Christophe Barratier

STARRING:
Victor Belmondo, Gérard Lanvin, Yoann Eloundou,
Ornella Fleury, Marie-Sohna Condé

LANGUAGE:
French with English subtitles

Inspired by a true story, Fly Me Away is a feel-good

movie full of humanity, from Christophe Barratier,
Director of the classic French film The Chorus.
Thomas (Victor Belmondo, Sweetheart, AF FFF20)
spends his nights in clubs and his days in bed having
dropped out of university and living off his father’s
wealth. That is until his father, Dr. Reinhard (Gérard
Lanvin), fed up with his son’s escapades, cuts him
off completely and forces him to take care of one of
his young patients.
Marcus is twelve years old and lives alone with his
mother. Born with a serious congenital disorder,
he divides his time between a reception centre for
sick children where he goes to school and repeated
stays in hospital. This encounter will disrupt their
lives and change them both, profoundly and forever.
Fly Me Away perfectly captures the balance
between tears and heartwarming laughter, as
this unlikely pair forms a brotherly bond that is
made all the more convincing by Eloundou’s
mature performance which brings the film’s deep
emotion to life.

CETTE MUSIQUE NE JOUE POUR PERSONNE
COMEDY | FRANCE, BELGIUM | 2021 | 106 MIN | CTC

STARRING François Damiens, Vanessa Paradis, DIRECTED BY

Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, Joey Starr, Gustave Kervern Samuel Benchetrit

Featuring a delicious ensemble cast led by the fabulous François Damiens (Of Love
and Lies, AF FFF20) and Vanessa Paradis (Family Photo, AF FFF19), the hilarious
new romantic comedy from Samuel Benchetrit is a charmingly-affectionate fable
of a disparate group of ordinary people finding love and fulfillment through an
unexpected source: the arts.
In the port city of Dunkirk, weary crime boss Jeff (The Bélier Family’s wonderful
Damiens, AF FFF15) has a big problem: young punks are muscling in on his turf.
But Jeff is distracted: he’s fallen for Roxane, a supermarket cashier he adores from
afar. Taking a leaf from the Cyrano playbook, he tries to win her heart by writing
love poems, but doesn’t have the courage to deliver them. Meanwhile, Jeff’s
grizzled and near-mute enforcer is sent to shake down local suburban widow
Suzanne (a never-better Paradis), who is preparing to portray Simone de Beauvoir
in the community theatre’s annual musical, but instead finds himself drawn into
the actual production…
Featuring an exquisitely layered script that slowly reveals genuine pathos
for all its characters, Love Songs for Tough Guys is a deadpan but giddily
romantic fable of imperfect people with complex and passionate interior
lives. Huge-hearted and funny, it’s one of the most entertaining and
intelligent comedies of this year’s selection.

STARRING Anamaria Vartolomei, Kacey Mottet Klein, Luàna Bajrami, DIRECTED BY

Louise Orry-Diquéro, Pio Marmaï, Sandrine Bonnaire Audrey Diwan

Winner of this year’s Golden Lion Award at the 78th Venice International Film
Festival, Happening is an adaptation of Annie Ernaux’s autobiographical novel.
The movie is a powerful female story set in France, 1963 - a society that
censures women’s desires.
Audrey Diwan’s second movie is a raw tale of smashed innocence set at a
time when a woman’s right to have an abortion was classified as murder.
The film follows the story of a young girl, studying in Paris, who dreams of becoming
a writer and the challenges she faces.
Strong, raw, intense, heartbreaking, this is a must-see film with a great cast,
featuring the young lead actress Anamaria Vartolomei supported by the iconic
Sandrine Bonnaire.
Happening is French social realism at its finest, the film does not shy away from
this increasingly relevant topic as women’s rights are challenged across the globe.
It’s this atmosphere of judgement and isolation that is palpable, as the line between
drama and thriller are blurred in what seems like the protagonist’s fight for life.

 HEAR ME OUT
ON EST FAIT POUR S’ENTENDRE
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE COMEDY | FRANCE | 2020 | 93 MIN | M

STARRING Pascal Elbé, Sandrine Kiberlain, Valérie Donzelli, DIRECTED BY

François Berléand, Emmanuelle Devos Pascal Elbé

“I made a movie about being hard of hearing because I lost some hearing several years
ago. I decided to make a comedy on this subject.” - Pascal Elbé.
This romantic comedy is centered around Antoine (Pascal Elbé, Knock, AF FFF18) a
history professor in his early 50s, who discovers he is losing his hearing. Unable to
own up to his disability and his attempts to disguise it only resulting in those around
him finding his behaviour increasingly odd, he resigns himself to living in his bubble.
An encounter with Claire, a widow whose daughter is mute, gives him the strength to
open up to the world again.
In addition to being behind the camera, Pascal Elbé plays the main character in this
very personal film. For his third movie as a director, he surrounds himself with a strong
cast: Sandrine Kiberlain (French Tech, AF FFF22), François Berléand (How to Be a Good
Wife, AF FFF20), Valérie Donzelli (Notre Dame, AF FFF20), to name a few.
This well-rounded cast of Hear Me Out delivers a touching exploration of the risks and
rewards of revealing our vulnerabilities and that shows there’s no shame in asking for
help. Dealing with the universal themes of change, difference, and communication,
Elbé explores the lighter side of understanding one’s self and in turn being understood.

 THE YOUNG LOVERS
LES JEUNES AMANTS
AUSTRALIAN PREMIERE ROMANCE | FRANCE | 2022 | 113 MIN | CTC

STARRING Fanny Ardant, Melvil Poupaud, Cécile de France, DIRECTED BY

Florence Loiret-Caille, Sharif Andoura Carine Tardieu

The fabulous Fanny Ardant, Melvil Poupaud and Cécile de France beguile in The Young
Lovers, Carine Tardieu’s eagerly anticipated follow up to Just to Be Sure (AF FFF17),
a modern and emotionally-nuanced romantic dramedy of a woman who embarks on
a relationship with a much younger man, and the implications her choices have on
those around her.
Elegant, retired architect Shauna (a radiant, never-better Ardant, La Belle Époque AF
FFF 20) crosses paths with Pierre (Melvil Poupaud, Summer of 85, AF FFF21), a married
oncologist in his 40s, who first made an impression on her in a brief meeting over
a decade earlier. Both are drawn to each other and begin a passionate affair. While
Pierre’s family life is soon turned upside down - his wife (de France) incredulous at the
age difference - Shauna struggles with feelings she thought well-belonged to the past,
and the promise of what may remain…
Inspired by real events experienced by the mother of one of Tardieu’s closest friends,
the late Sólveig Anspach, this wonderful new film deftly avoids sentimentality, and
empathises as equally with those affected by the couple’s unexpected connection
as it does with them. Capturing the thrill, guilt and vulnerability of December-May
romances, The Young Lovers is a hugely moving call to arms to fully appreciate life,
no matter society’s preconceptions.

INTERNATIONAL PREMIERE SOCIAL COMEDY | FRANCE | 2022 | 94 MIN | M

STARRING A udrey Lamy, François Cluzet , DIRECTED BY

Chantal Neuwirth , Fatoumata K aba, Oliver Faliez Louis-Julien Petit

The follow up movie to Julien-Petit’s box-office hit Invisibles (AF FFF20) The Kitchen
Brigade, explores the world of French gastronomy while also tackling issues of social
justice and inclusion through the story of Cathy.
Cathy (Audrey Lamy, already starring in Invisibles) is an inflexible 40-year-old sous-
chef, finally fulfilling her lifelong dream of opening her own high-end restaurant.
Things do not go to plan. Facing serious financial difficulties, she reluctantly accepts
a job in the cafeteria of a shelter for young migrants. Though she hates the new job
at first, Cathy’s remarkable skill and passion for cuisine start to change the kids’ lives.
And it turns out they also have a lot to teach her.
True to his favourite genre, social comedy, Louis-Julien Petit explores learning,
communication, success and self-esteem, mixing humour, humanism, realism and
entertainment. With The Kitchen Brigade, the director pays tribute to young people
with a tormented past and an uncertain future, holding onto hope of a better life,
struggling relentlessly to integrate into French society; and of course, acknowledges
all those who devote so much energy to help them.
This feel-good movie with a strong touch of humanity also features François Cluzet
(Intouchables and We’ll End Up Together, AF FFF20) and several newcomers, including
Fatoumata Kaba.

DRAMA | FRANCE | 2022 | 108 MIN | M

STARRING Maël Rouin-Berrandou, Judith Chemla, DIRECTED BY

Dali Benssalah, Sofian Khammes, Moncef Farfar Yohan Manca

In his feature debut, French filmmaker Yohan Manca breaks down the barriers and
preconceptions surrounding art and culture with a touching story of hope, chance and
overcoming adversity.
La Traviata, My Brothers and I, tells the story of 14-year-old Nour (Maël Rouin-
Berrandou), growing up in a housing project in the South of France, with his older
brothers, who take turns caring for their ailing mother, who is in a coma.
Nour dreams of becoming the new Luciano Pavarotti, inspired by La Traviata, an opera
he knows well because his Italian father wooed his North African mother by singing
its arias to her. Between his work in the community and rising tensions at home,
Nour dreams of escaping to a faraway place. When he crosses paths with Sarah
(Judith Chemla, A Woman’s Life, AF FFF17), an opera singer teaching summer classes,
he finally finds the opportunity to come out of his shell and explore new horizons.
Avoiding clichés, the filmmaker – with the help of cinematographer Marco
Graziaplena – captures the siblings through a lens influenced by Italian cinema of the
1960s and 70s and adeptly presents an inspiring slice-of-life film filled with tender,
touching moments.

Our opportunities to enjoy the arts – literature,
painting, photography, architecture, sculpture, music,
theatre, dance, cinema - have been fairly limited over
the past year. However French actors and producers
are unstoppable, and we are the lucky beneficiaries
of their relentless efforts and passion! It is our great
privilege to be able to present you with an extraordinary
line up for this 33rd edition of the AF FFF.
This year’s festival will feature 13 films based on
literature. Absolute must-see films include the
JOHANNA DURAND compelling Between Two Worlds starring Juliette
Binoche and Farewell Mr. Haffmann with Daniel
Auteuil. If you crave the magic of the Opera, La Traviata, My brothers & I is for you. If you are
yearning for dance, we highly recommend Rise; Mali Twist; Rumba Therapy and Authentik.
If you are searching for something a little different, hitch a ride with Paul W.R.’s Last Journey.

What a wonderful time of the year it is when
the Alliance Française French Film Festival
returns to Melbourne! This year, the largest
French Film festival in the world outside
France has again lined up a fabulous array of
films that will suit every taste.
Personally, I look forward to discovering new
movies, such as Fly Me Away (the closing
night film, in partnership with the Bastille
Day French Festival), The Fantastic Journey
of Margot & Marguerite (an enchanting
adventure story about time travel) or The
Kitchen Brigade (an inspiring tale of social
inclusion).
We need to renew our appreciation
and gratitude to the whole network of
the Alliances Françaises in Australia
who deliver such rich and diverse
programming every year, and especially
the Melbourne team who has managed to
survive the longest lockdown in the world
and still bring us the magic of French cinema
with such enthusiasm and passion.
Tous nos vœux de succès pour cette
33ème édition du Festival du Film !

GILBERT DUCASSE
Bienvenue to another exciting journey
through the culturally diverse and thought-
provoking French and Francophone
cinematographic landscape. You will laugh,
cry and be thrilled by the high quality of
this year’s line-up exploring themes of the
condition humaine et joie de vivre.
Please explore with me the many exciting
films, including the tumultuous 19th century
world of literary and political intrigue in Lost
Illusions. It is based on Honoré de Balzac’s
novel and features one of my favourite
actors, Cécile de France.
Waiting for Bojangles, adapted from the
novel by Olivier Bordeaut and featuring the
talented Virginie Efira and Romain Duris,
is a beautifully touching and moving story
of amour fou as seen through the young
and innocent eyes of their son. You will be
inspired, in these sometimes challenging
times, by Cédric Klapisch’s film Rise which
reminds us of the insatiable need to celebrate
art and culture, to reinvent ourselves and
keep dancing.
