Julie Gavras’s insightful film is a deeply political movie that sidesteps strident polemics by viewing the ideological conflicts within a French-Spanish family through the eyes of a smart, willful child. As the daily life of nine-year-old Anna (Nina Kervel) is drastically revised after her parents, Fernando and Marie de la Mesa, suddenly become radicals, she resists change with the ferocious determination of a youngster who is told that she must part with her favorite toys. Trevor Johnson, Time Out: “A deft, original, entertaining and thoughtful look at that moment when we realise the world’s just that bit more complicated than we thought.” Stephen Holden, The New York Times: “Each minute fluctuation in the household’s political weather registers poignantly on Anna’s visage as she tries to grasp events she barely comprehends. Ms. Kervel, her grave, intelligent features scrunched into a worried frown throughout much of the movie, is a marvel. By any measure it is a great performance by a child actor.” Sponsored by Christa Lancaster. Community Partners: Chronique Francophone, Kellogg-Hubbard Library. Rated PG-13, 95 minutes, in French with subtitles. Film review
