The exercise is instigated by Cl\u00e9mentine Autain&#8217;s memoir<em> about<\/em> being abandoned by a mother who died very young. That book conjures up Bohringer&#8217;s own childhood, which is a carbon copy of Autain&#8217;s experience. Superimposing their parallel story lines and sleuthing scraps of family history, the film follows both women, as they plumb their individual suffering to reach a kind of loving forgiveness, breaking those tenacious abandonment cycles, once and for all.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><strong><span style=\"color: #660084;\">Director&#8217;s Biography<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Romane Bohringer<\/strong> made her on-screen debut at 10, alongside her father, actor Richard Bohringer, in Patrick Chaput&#8217;s <em>La B\u00eate noire<\/em> (1983). However, she soon turned to the theater, playing Miranda in Peter Brook&#8217;s staging of Shakespeare&#8217;s <em>The Tempest<\/em>.\u00a0 Her breakout film was opposite Cyril Collard in his powerful AIDS drama, <em>Savage Nights<\/em> (1992), which earned her a Most Promising Actress Award. She has appeared in 91 films, among them Claude Miller&#8217;s <em>The Accompanist<\/em> (1992), Martine Dugowson&#8217;s <em>Mina Tannenbaum<\/em> (1994), Agnieszka Holland&#8217;s <em>Total Eclipse<\/em> (1995), Richard Bohringer&#8217;s <em>The City Is Beautiful at Night<\/em> (2006), and Alain Tasma&#8217;s TV movie <em>Le Viol<\/em> (2017). She wrote and directed her first short, <em>Ti Tengu caru<\/em> in 2005. In 2018, Bohringer and Philippe Rebbot cowrote, co-directed and co-starred in the feature <em>L&#8217;Amour flou<\/em>, recounting the true story of their real-life romantic breakup, which was nominated for a C\u00e9sar Award for Best First Film, and then <em>Uncoupling<\/em> (TAFFF 2022), the sitcom version of that same story. <strong><em>Tell Her I Love Her<\/em><\/strong> premiered in the Special Screenings section of this year&#8217;s Cannes Film Festival.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][mk_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/screenshot-2025-09-28-at-10.07.49.png&#8221; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/win-a-cruise-for-two-in-europe\/&#8221; target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][mk_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/tell-her-that-i-love-her.jpg&#8221; image_size=&#8221;full&#8221; frame_style=&#8221;gray_border&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221;][\/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":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1760565050598{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;] TELL HER I LOVE HER (Dites-lui que je l&#8217;aime) &nbsp; [\/vc_column_text][vc_separator color=&#8221;custom&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; accent_color=&#8221;#660084&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][mk_content_box heading=&#8221;DOCUMENTARY COMPETITION&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1757463486787{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;] TRUFFAUT THEATER Documentary [\/vc_column_text][\/mk_content_box][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][mk_custom_box corner_radius=&#8221;15&#8243; bg_color=&#8221;#dbcce2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1758576887311{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;] SATURDAY NOVEMBER 1 1:20 pm (Screening ends at 3:00 pm) Followed by a conversation with writer\/director Romane Bohringer [\/vc_column_text][\/mk_custom_box][mk_padding_divider size=&#8221;10&#8243;][mk_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/order-tickets.jpg&#8221; [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-22765","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22765"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22765\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25042,"href":"https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22765\/revisions\/25042"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
