All is Forgiven / Tout est pardonné Series: Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2008 [February 29 - March 9] Director: Mia Hansen-Løve, Country: France, Release: 2007, Runtime: 105 Actress Mia Hansen-Løve’s feature directorial debut is a film of the rarest delicacy, an altogether remarkable expression of evanescent joys and sadnesses, achieved through the simplest of means. The story begins in Vienna, where a French writer named Victor (Paul Blain, whose haunted eyes make him a dead ringer for his father Gérard) finds it increasingly difficult to cope with life, and retreats from his Austrian wife Annette (Marie Christine Friedrich) and their young daughter Pamela (Victoire Rousseau) into the anxious dissipation of heroin addiction. At which point the film does not so much advance as gently shift to Paris, 11 years later, where we encounter Pamela as a quietly self-possessed young teenager (Constance Rousseau, an incandescent first-time actress), as she begins to re-connect with her long lost father. Unlike almost every other first-time director in current cinema, Hansen-Løve (known to American audiences for her appearances as an actress in Olivier Assayas’ Les Destinées and Late August, Early September) trusts in her story, her settings, and her actors. She has a lovely and winning patience as a director, which gives the final passages of All is Forgiven a heartbreaking beauty. The co-winner of the 2007 Prix Louis Delluc for Best First Film, and with good reason.
