Miss and the Doctors
Leaving July 31
•
1h 39m
Directed by Axelle Ropert • 2013 • France
Starring Louise Bourgoin, Cédric Kahn, Laurent Stocker
Boris (Cédric Kahn) and Dimitri (Laurent Stocker) are brothers and doctors with a family practice in Paris’s Chinatown. When they take on a young diabetic patient and both fall for the girl’s charming mother, Judith (Louise Bourgoin), their fraternal and professional bond is put to the test. Echoing the work of Eric Rohmer yet decidedly on its own woozy wavelength, Axelle Ropert’s melancholic exploration of relationships both romantic and familial displays the dreamy mise-en-scène and sophisticated human understanding that have made her one of contemporary French cinema’s most intriguing auteurs.
