7PM screening followed by a Q&A with Sophie Letourneur
Dir. Sophie Letourneur, 2025, 108min
Starring Philippe Katerine, Sophie Letourneur, Bérénice Vernet, Esteban Melero
In Letourneur’s newest film, the family from Voyages en Italie returns to Italy but this time, Sardinia is the destination and the couple’s young son and Sophie’s preteen daughter from a previous relationship have come along for the ride. The girl has inherited her mom’s passion for moviemaking and documents the trip, revealing every mundane detail of the holiday excursion. The daughter’s filmmaking is enhanced with recollections of these everyday experiences by the parents, who seem to have grown more distant since the prior film, as the kids take over center stage. Flowing like a real vacation would, L’Aventura allows viewers to savor life’s small, ultra-relatable moments.
“A kaleidoscope of moments, a sensory tale, where life nibbles away at fiction all the time.” – Télérama
