Aug. 29 – Film, Hold Me Tight (France 2021)

The central character, Clarisse, is on the run from her family for reasons that are not immediately clear. The film alternates between her adventures and scenes of her abandoned husband, Marc, as he struggles to care for his children at home. In director Mathieu Amalric’s carefully constructed vision of a mother’s complicated separation from her family, two complementary and opposing versions of reality coexist alongside one another like puzzle pieces, working together to tell a single story.
