More an observer than a partaker of life, affable Aymeric looks at the world through the lens of his hand-me-down Canon camera. After bumbling through his youth and a brief stint behind bars, Aymeric runs into Florence, a former supermarket coworker who happens to be six months pregnant. He blithely stumbles into a love affair with her and is at her side when baby Jim enters the world. As they raise the boy together over the next seven years, Jim is the center of Aymeric’s life… until the boy’s biological father suddenly reappears. Peppered with stunning negative photographic images, this powerful film from the Larrieu brothers<\/strong> is as emotionally understated as it is visually lush. Graced with masterfully-crafted performances from the entire cast, it is a searing look at the very nature of fatherhood, as it tracks 27 years in the life of an earnest, kind-hearted man and the pivotal relationship that shapes his journey.<\/p>\n

Born in Lourdes just one year apart, Arnaud and Jean-Marie Larrieu<\/strong> \u2013 a.k.a. the Larrieu brothers \u2013 began making short films as a team in 1987, when they were in their early twenties. They’ve gone on to co-write and co-direct eleven feature films to date, beginning with Summer’s End<\/em> (1999) and Roland’s Pass<\/em> (2000). A Real Man <\/em>(2003) won a Holden Award for Best Script – Special Mention at the Torino Film Festival. To Paint or Make Love<\/em> (2005) premiered in competition in Cannes. That was followed by the documentary Les Fen\u00eatres sont ouvertes<\/em> (2005); Le Voyage aux Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es<\/em> (2008); Happy End<\/em> (2009), which won the Carnet Jove Jury Award and the Jos\u00e9 Luis Guarner Critics’ Award at the Catalonia International Film Festival; Love is the Perfect Crime<\/em> (2013); 21 Nights with Pattie<\/em> (2015), which won the Best Screenplay Award at the San Sebastian Film Festival; and Tralala<\/em> (2021). Jim’s Story<\/em><\/strong> had its world premiere, out of competition, at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and went on to win the Grand Prize at the Brussels International Film Festival in July.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/jims-story.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
