Isabelle Huppert and Gérard Depardieu play a long-separated couple who journey to Death Valley after receiving a mysterious letter from their dead son that raises expectations that he will appear to them at a certain place and time in the desert. Appearing on screen together for the first time since Loulou (1980), Huppert and Depardieu play fictional versions of themselves, adding extra dimension to their ongoing conversations- initially brittle and gradually tender- and their ultimate exploration of the appointed Death Valley locations. Filmmaker Guillaume Nicloux uses this familiarity to craft a metaphysical tale underlined by the yearning strains of “The Unanswered Question” by Charles Ives. Writer/Director: Guillaume Nicloux. In French with English subtitles with some English. (France 2015) 92 min.
