Mademoiselle Chambon
A love story that has bewitched audiences and critics worldwide, 'Mademoiselle Chambon' is an "exquisite chamber piece" (LA Times) that delicately captures the initial stirrings of romance. Vincent Lindon plays Jean, a burly and happily married housing contractor. One fateful afternoon, he picks up his son from school and meets the teacher, a willowy beauty named Mademoiselle Chambon (Sandrine Kiberlain). Their flirtation slowly builds over lingering glances and an impromptu violin solo in Chambon's apartment. Like the classical music they swoon over, their relationship builds through subtle movements: the tilt of a head, or an inadvertent brush of the cheek, fills their hearts with longing. Jean soon comes to a crossroads, having to choose between the intensity of his bond with Chambon or the responsibility and care he feels for his wife (Aure Atika) and child. A "beautifully observed" (NY Magazine) evocation of what it feels like to fall dizzyingly in love, 'Mademoiselle Chambon' won the Cesar (the French Oscar) for best Adapted Screenplay.
