Things to Come

First Published:

Things to Come is a French drama written and directed by Mia Hansen-Løve. It premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival where Hansen-Løve won the Silver Bear for Best Director. The film stars Isabelle Huppert, André Marcon, Roman Kolinka, and Édith Scob.

Nathalie teaches philosophy at a high school in Paris. She is passionate about her job and particularly enjoys passing on the pleasure of thinking. Married with two children, she divides her time between her family, former students and her very possessive mother. One day, Nathalie’s husband announces he is leaving her for another woman. With freedom thrust upon her, Nathalie must reinvent her life.

Hansen-Løve was thrilled to have Huppert star in the film. “Beyond the fact that I rate her as the greatest French actress, I couldn’t imagine anyone else playing the part. Besides the well-known facets of her talent (finesse, energy, humor, the hint of ferocity, etc), I also had in mind the Isabelle Huppert that I had met away from the movies, who cannot be summed up by the characters we are used to seeing her play. There was some- thing else that caught my attention, a particular fragility and sort of tranquility in total contrast to the tough cookies she often plays. I was keen to bring that out and take her toward something more gentle, tender or even innocent.”

Things to Come is rated 14A.
