THE TRUTH (PG)
Preview AWARDWINNING Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda ventures to France to make his first feature outside of his homeland and elicits an eye-catching central performance from Catherine Deneuve.
She plays Fabienne Dangeville, grand dame of French cinema, who has a Cesar on the mantelpiece and commands the adoration of countrymen and women for her performances.
Fabienne is poised to release a memoir entitled The Truth as she prepares for her next film.
Hitting the campaign trail to promote the book, Fabienne plays host to her screenwriter daughter Lumir (Juliette Binoche) and her actor husband Hank (Ethan Hawke).
They arrive from New York with their young daughter Charlotte (Clémentine Grenier).
As Lumir reads her mother’s book, she is staggered by the extent of Fabienne’s deception, trotting out rose-tinted anecdotes that never happened to polish her public image.
The divide between reality and fiction forces the two women to address their differences and seek common ground.
