Let’s Dance! / Faut que ça danse!
Series: Rendez-Vous with French Cinema 2008 [February 29 - March 9]
Director: Noémie Lvovsky, Country: France, Release: 2007, Runtime: 100

One of the finest talents of her generation, writer-director (and occasional actress) Noémie Lvovsky makes in Let’s Dance! one of the most original studies of older characters seen in years. Her new film centers around Salomon Bellinsky (Jean-Pierre Marielle), a Holocaust survivor just about to turn 80. He separated from his wife Genevieve (Bulle Ogier) years ago, but the two maintain a perfectly cordial relationship — that is, until recently, when it’s become increasingly clear that Genevieve’s mind is going. Salomon knows that the end is coming, but he knows just as well that it hasn’t arrived yet — something that is especially clear once Violette (Sabine Azema) becomes part of his life. Meanwhile, Salomon and Genevieve’s daughter, Sarah (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi), just can’t seem to settle down, and she wonders if having a baby might help. The performance are all first rate, and the stories of each character move seamlessly through each other, providing accents and insights to what we’ve seen.
