Let the Sunshine In

Surrounded by people and yet alone. Isabelle (Juliette Binoche) lives the life of a single woman in the big city of Paris. She is a woman with a past - strong and independent, recognised as an artist, but not very successful when it comes to love. Her search for true love fails again and again. The gap between what women want and what men are willing to give seems too great. In her perplexity, Isabelle hopes that a fortune teller (Gérard Depardieu), of all people, will answer the question that concerns her more than anything else - does love for life exist or is it just a utopia? With "My Beautiful Inner Sun", Claire Denis has dared to make her first romantic comedy, which was received with enthusiasm by both French cinema audiences and critics. Juliette Binoche congenially plays a strong and at the same time vulnerable woman in her prime who is looking for happiness. She is supported by a strong male ensemble, above all Gérard Depardieu in a brief but unforgettable performance.
