《Milo》(Milo) San Sebastian appears

The French film Milo (French title - 7h40 ce matin-là《) was selected into the official section of the San Sebastian Film Festival.The film is directed and co-written by Nicole Garcia, starring Marion Cotillard and Theodore Perrin, and has a running time of 1 hour and 54 minutes.Reports summarize it as a gloomy drama centered on the relationship between mother and son, with the narrative having the atmosphere of a small-town crime drama.

Garcia, 80, entered the French film industry as an actor in his early years and has worked with Bertrand Tavernier, Jacques Rivette, Claude Soutet and Alain Resnais.Since the 1990s, she has turned to directing and has successively filmed films such as The Adversary, A View of Love, Lovers and Place Vendôme.Her new film continues her preference for dark plots and crime-driven plots.

Cotillard plays Alice.Alice was once in prison and was forced to leave her son twenty years ago.After being released from prison, she came to Romain-Suissere in southeastern France, hoping to get close to the adult Milo again.Milo, played by Perrin, is a young car mechanic.Alice did not identify herself when she arrived in the town, only found a job as a waitress in a restaurant, and lived in a simple apartment.

The film cuts back and forth between Alice and Milo.Alice takes the map with her and observes the young man secretly.Milo's adoptive mother quickly recognized her as the child's biological mother.As her identity is revealed, Alice's past comes to light.She was a left-wing activist who took part in a bank attack that left a police officer dead.This old case makes her close to Milo always stressful.

Milo's life is also unfolded within the relationship between class and small town.He became involved with a wealthy local landowning family, who almost became his surrogate family.The report also mentioned that the film will enter a branch related to drug dealers, thus adding to the color of the crime film.While Alice wants to be close to her son, she is also worried that Milo will repeat the choices she made when she was young.

Cotillard dropped the usual gorgeous image in the film and played Alice as a person who has been held back by the past for a long time and acts with stubbornness.The film review specifically mentioned a manor banquet scene: Alice appears as a waiter, but opens an expensive bottle of wine in the kitchen and sits down to drink it in front of other staff.This action places her resistance and exhaustion against the hierarchical order in the same scene.

Milo, played by Perrin, gradually realizes his social position in the film and begins to see the cruelty of the world around him.Reports believe that there is an inescapable similarity in personality between him and Alice, even though mother and son have not lived together for twenty years.The film does not write this relationship as a relaxed reunion story, but allows Alice to affect her son's life in a limited way.

Produced by Trésor Film, the film also stars Altis, Raul Calami, Alexis Manetti, Charles Berling, Eric Elmosnino and Anne Brochet.Cinematography is by Yves Karp, music is by Amin Bouafa, and distribution is by StudioCanal.Garcia co-wrote the screenplay with Olivier Demange and Lorette Polmance.
