Press Release Criterion Press Release: Petite Maman (2021) (Blu-ray) (1 Viewer)

[Ronald Epstein]

​

Céline Sciamma’s follow-up to Portrait of a Lady on Firetranscends time and space to weave a delicately emotional fable about grief, family, and connection across generations. In the wake of her grandmother’s death, eight-year-old Nelly (Joséphine Sanz) accompanies her distraught mother (Nina Meurisse) to her childhood home. There, Nelly’s encounter with another young girl (Gabrielle Sanz) brings mother and daughter together in a way neither could have ever imagined. Evoking childhood’s perpetual state of wonder through luminous, richly textured images, Petite maman takes viewers on a journey inward for a quietly miraculous tale of emotional time travel.

I'm happy to see this is getting a physical release.

 

[Angelo Colombus]

Will check this out for the first time when my local library gets it.

I actually wrote into Criterion last year and requested that they consider releasing this. Obviously, I'm thrilled they're making this available and I will definitely get it. It is one of the best films I saw last year.

Also, that cover is beautiful.

 

[Patrick McCart]

Just from seeing Tomboy and Portrait of a Lady on Fire, I'll watch anything by Sciamma. One of the best filmmakers working today.

 

[Kent K H]

I've heard nothing but wonderful things about this. Almost sounds like a French Ghibli movie, and I mean that as a compliment.
