Lover for a Day

(L’amant d’un jour, Philippe Garrel, France 2017, 76 min., DCP, French w/subtitles)

Rochester Premiere | Philippe Garrel. After a devastating breakup, the only place 23-year-old Jeanne has to stay in Paris is the small flat of her father, Giles. But when Jeanne arrives, she finds that her father’s new girlfriend has moved in, too: Arianne, a young woman her own age. Each is looking for their own kind of love in a city filled with possibilities. The latest feature by the prolific Philippe Garrel premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight at Cannes last year, where it was awarded the SACD prize from the French Writers and Directors Guild.
