La Famille Wolberg

French actress and writer Axelle Ropert made her directing debut with this poignant drama. The life of an apparently happy family is closely examined where nothing is as it seems. Ropert brilliantly removes layers to get to the heart of what makes a family which is moving and ultimately heartbreaking. The film's offbeat humor and retro feel adds to its charm. The talented cast including François Damiens and Valérie Benguigui amongst others deliver nuanced and genuine performances. YRCinema's coverage of the first online French Film Festival.
