Unveiled at the Filmmakers’ Fortnight at the Cannes Film Festival last year, A son Image by Thierry de Peretti will be released in theaters on September 4, 2024. Discover our review and the trailer.
Director of the excellent The Apaches, A Violent Lifeet Investigation into a state scandal, Thierry de Peretti sets about, once again, dissecting its Christmas races with A Son Imagehis new film presented at the Cannes Film Festival – at the Filmmakers’ Fortnight – and expected in French cinemas on September 4, 2024.
Adapting the book of the same name by Jerome FerrariThierry de Peretti passionately retraces Antonia’s journey (Clara Maria Laredo), a press photographer for Corse-Matin in Ajaccio, mixing the fictionalized fragments from the short life of the young girl to theCorsica’s eventful historyvery real, from the end of the 70s to the beginning of the 21st century.
Lucky for feminine and feminist pendant from his previous film A violent life which narrated the political commitment of a young Corsican, Thierry de Perettia decidedly excellent storyteller, chooses this time to link the small and the big History, the intimate and the broad, adopting a double regard poignant.
First of all, Antonia’s, whose job literally consists of capturing moments of life and which focuses on the clashes led by men of the Corsican National Liberation Frontson regard sans concession. The one whose “the center of gravity of its existence is outside itself” has an affair with Pascal (Louis Starace), a separatist who is in and out of prison, but cannot bring himself to see his life limited to the Corse.
But the film is also about a male narrator – who we learn much later is a friend of Antonia – who tries to understand, year after year, the persona of this young woman so free that she will go so far as to cover the war in Yugoslavia, from one conflict to another. Because the film opts for a flashback narration and for good reason: from the first scenes ofA Son Imageshock: Antonia swerves her car and plunges into the turquoise blue sea.
His political commitment, his loves, his friends, and Corsica which is gradually going up in flames… The film seeks to depict sense of folklore or naturalism this youth protestsometimes supported byimages d’archives – real or falsely altered – which bear witness to the violence of the political struggle which pits autonomist activists against the continental police. And between the two, Antonia goes straight.
