35 Shots of Rum

Presented on 35mm

French filmmaker Claire Denis (Beau Travail) pays tribute to the films of Japanese director Yasujiro Ozu (Late Spring) with this sensitive, quietly powerful family drama starring Denis-regulars Alex Descas, Grégoire Colin, and Atlantics director Mati Diop.

Sumptuously filmed by Agnes Godard and featuring an unforgettable score by Tindersticks, Denis’ sublime 35 Shots of Rum is the story of an aging widower (Descas) and his college-age daughter (Diop) whose close-knit, tender relationship is disrupted by the handsome young suitor (Colin) who lives next door.

"A sort of ballet of emotions, executed with weightless grace and poise."
Dave Kehr, Film Comment Magazine
"The magic of Claire Denis's exquisite 35 Shots of Rum is that although so much is left unsaid, it's one of the most emotionally eloquent films you'll see this year."
Wendy Ide, The Times (UK)
