Aurore
A hugely entertaining blend of humour, truthfulness and sensitivity, Blandine Lenoir's warm-hearted romantic comedy AURORE centres on a middle-aged woman in the midst of major personal and professional life changes.
Fifty-year-old Aurore Tabort (the truly marvellous Agnès Jaoui), separated from her husband and newly unemployed, discovers she is to become a grandmother. She feels as if her own life has come to a standstill, and is slowly being pushed away to the fringes of society. But after bumping into the great love of her youth, Totoche, (Thibault de Montalembert, Call My Agent!) something changes – Aurore wonders if it might still be possible to embark on something new.
On screen from start to finish, actress and co-writer Jaoui (The Taste of Others, Look at Me) is the heart and soul of this witty, feel-great film. She brings a touching, true-to-life poignancy to an endearing portrait of the resilience of womanhood, as an everyday heroine on the road to (re)discovery.
