The all-star cast includes Oscar-winner Juliette Binoche, Romain Duris (THE BEAT THAT MY HEART SKIPPED), Melanie Laurent (INGLORIOUS BASTERDS), Fabrice Luchini (INTIMATE STRANGERS), Francois Cluzet (TELL NO ONE) and Karin Viard (TIME OUT). While waiting for a heart transplant that could save his life, Pierre (Duris) grows close again with his sister (Binoche) and her lively children. This rediscovery of his family and observation of the teeming streets outside his window give Pierre a new, hopeful sense of how he might spend the time still left to him.

Still, even though there was some real bullsh*t here and there, I really enjoyed the directing and the performances were really good. I especially liked Fabrice Luchini who keeps playing the same role” read more
