A pulse-pounding political thriller, Costa-Gavras’s technically audacious and emotionally gripping masterpiece remains one of the most vital cinematic dispatches of the late sixties. This Oscar-winning film – loosely based on the assassination of Greek left-wing activist Gregoris Lambrakis – stars Yves Montand as a politician whose public murder amid a violent demonstration is covered up by officials, and Jean-Louis Trintignant as the tenacious magistrate determined not to let them get away with it.

Paris, 1933: Violette Noziere (Isabelle Huppert) will turn 18. She lives with her parents, Germaine (Stéphane Audran) and Baptiste (Jean Carmet), in a very modest apartment cluttered with ungainly furniture and objects. Violette can’t stand the cramped quarters or the drab atmosphere at home. Baptiste Noziere is only interested in his card games, while Germaine clumsily tries to raise her daughter according to a petit-bourgeois ideal that excludes any hint of dreaming. So Violette escapes in her own way, leading a double life: an emancipated young woman on the outside, elegantly dressed, with easy money, but a butterfly who folds her wings and slips into her drab chrysalis when she returns to her parents’ house. Her encounter with Jean Dabin (Jean Francois Garreaud), a mediocre and unscrupulous man with whom she falls madly in love, will further widen the gap between her two lives.

September 1914. For several weeks, the fighting has been raging. In a small village in eastern France, a few kilometers from the German area, four women find themselves thrown into the heart of the horror: Marguerite (Audrey Fleurot), a Parisian prostitute as mysterious as she is flamboyant, who is suspected of being a spy; Caroline (Sofia Essaïdi), wife of Victor Dewitt, owner of a car factory, who has left for the front. She finds herself at the head of the family business, a colossal and unprecedented challenge for a woman at the beginning of the century; Agnès (Julie de Bona), Mother Superior of a convent requisitioned and transformed into a military hospital. Overwhelmed by the influx of wounded, Agnès is increasingly tormented and questions her life choices; and Suzanne (Camille Lou), a young feminist nurse on the run since an abortion gone wrong…

A group of strangers, all descendants of a woman named Adèle Meunier, are gathered in Normandy. The town would like to purchase her long-abandoned property, and four “cousins” are tasked with overseeing the transaction. Thus begins a genealogical journey into the past, taking us to 1895 Paris, with the City of Light on the brink of an industrial and cultural revolution. Aptly entitled “The Coming of the Future” in French, Colors of Time literally plunges us into a moment in time when Parisian creativity is at its apex… when not only electricity and technology, but photography and Impressionism in painting and music are creating a spark that’s about to erupt into a movement far beyond anyone’s expectations. Cédric Klapisch‘s endearing new comedy is nothing less than a soul-stirring, time-traveling – at times, hallucinogenic – trip for lovers of the arts everywhere.
