Her Name is Sabine / Elle s’appelle Sabine Series: Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2008 [February 29 - March 9] Director: Sandrine Bonnaire, Country: France, Release: 2007, Runtime: 85 “Let’s say it out loud: Her Name is Sabine is the most beautiful film Cannes has given us this year.”—Jean Roy, L’Humanité Sandrine Bonnaire first burst into prominence with her heart-breaking performance in Maurice Pialat’s À nos amours. Since then, she’s worked with Agnes Varda, Jacques Rivette, Claude Chabrol and many other top-tier French directors. But throughout her acting career, Bonnaire has also been filming her younger sister, Sabine. Called crazy by her schoolmates and diagnosed as problematic by the authorities, Sabine moved in and out of schools until, in her late 20s, she was put in a mental institution. Bonnaire’s very moving, enlightening film finds Sabine at 38, living in an adult care facility after having finally been diagnosed as autistic five years earlier. An exposé of the ignorance that has plagued the treatment of autism, the film is even more centrally about the relationship between Sandrine and Sabine — the care, the closeness, the feelings of guilt and especially the frustration as one sister feels helpless to stop the other’s decline.
