[ENG]


A lonely Japanese baker hires a 76-year-old woman to be his new assistant, and soon learns that she has a wonderful recipe for sweet red bean paste -- which she claims comes from her communion with nature. However, their partnership is threatened when it's revealed that the elderly woman is suffering from a severe illness.

********************
Naomi Kawase’s filmmaking has thus far existed in a kind of prestigious limbo: Though beloved of festival selectors, particularly those at Cannes, even her most glitteringly rewarded works have largely failed to seduce international distributors. That could change with “An,” a soft-centered ode to the virtues of patience, tolerance and bean-filled pancakes that is easily her most accessible film to date — at little if any cost to her trademark lyricism. Incorporating elements from two steadfast arthouse subgenres — feel-good food porn and autumn-years tearjerker — this winsome tale of the unlikely bond between a solitary confectioner with no sweet tooth and a plucky septuagenarian with culinary magic in her frail fingertips remains too leisurely and low-key for major crossover success. Still, this year’s Un Certain Regard opener will end up being many auds’ introduction to the more austere poetry of Kawase’s filmography.(Guy Lodge, Variety)
