Synopsis

Set among a small circle of friends and neighbors in a Parisian suburb, 35 Shots of Rum is a warm, funny and enchanting film from the great French filmmaker Claire Denis.

Lionel, a metro conductor, lives with his beautiful university student daughter Josephine in a bustling apartment complex. They have been sharing the same space for many years and have grown accustomed to one another's company. Lately, Josephine has been spending time with Noé, a handsome young neighbor, while Lionel is finding himself drawn into a romance with close friend Gabrielle. As their lives are pulled in different directions, father and daughter realize they must finally confront an aspect of their past in order to embrace what lies ahead.

Sumptuously shot, this gloriously delicate and sublime new film casts a lovely spell unlike any other movie this year.

3 Reasons To buy this film

Claire Denis is also the acclaimed director behind Beau Travail, Friday Night and Chocolat.
35 Shots of Rum has been listed on over two-dozen 2009 top ten lists by critics.
In his New York Times review, A.O. Scott wrote: "In its modest scope and mellow tone, 35 Shots of Rum resembles Olivier Assayas’s Summer Hours, another recent film by a French director who has sometimes trafficked in provocation and extremity. Both movies embed extraordinary thematic richness within a simple, almost anecdotal narrative framework, and both achieve a rare eloquence about the state of the world by means of tact and reticence."
