Ponette: Directed by Jacques Doillon. With Victoire Thivisol, Delphine Schiltz, Matiaz Bureau Caton, Léopoldine Serre. A four-year-old girl tries to come to terms with the sudden death of her mother.
“is given by 4 year-old Victoire Thivisol. Differences in how people deal with death and the role religion plays are brought into focus in this outstanding, thought provoking and unrelenting heartbreaking film. Death and religion are difficult enough concepts for adults but to thrust them upon a 4 year old child and watch her battle to understand why her mother is dead is captured beautifully and thoughtfully in Ponette. This is a must see.”
