MADEMOISELLE CHAMBON is about love in midlife, about two souls meeting, and how that can be the most beautiful thing in the world but also the most inconvenient. Véronique Chambon (Sandrine Kiberlain) is a schoolteacher who works in a different city each year. Jean (Vincent Lindon) is a construction worker and a devoted husband and father. Her life is bound up in some name- less pain, some disappointment in her past. Then they meet and gradually realize that the other holds the key that can let them out of prison. A door opens inside on a place of sorrow and feeling that had always been hidden. Director Stéphane Brizé resists temptation to dress up what is, after all, the oldest story in cinema. He and his phenomenal actors just tell it, but with such detail and specificity of emotion that it couldn't feel more real unless it were happening to you.
