Making Love
Critics’ Week of the 2014 Cannes Film Fest will kick off with Making Love, Haitian helmer Djinn Carrenard’s follow-up to his microbudgeted “Donoma.” The love-triangle drama turns on a young musician who is in a loveless relationship with a woman who wants to have a baby.
Unexpectedly, he falls in love with his girlfriend’s sister, a young prison inmate, on leave for a week to spend Christmas with her young daughter.
This film illustrates the talent of France’s young generation of filmmakers, saying something meaningful about the challenges that 30 year-olds face today, coping with work, relationships, pressures from society.
