Družinska drama norveškega režiserja Joachima Trierja, ki je k svojemu prvemu angleško govorečemu projektu privabil impresivno igralsko zasedbo. 

Priprava razstave, posvečene sloviti vojni fotografinji Isabelle Freed, tri leta po njeni nepričakovani smrti naposled združi njenega moža in oba sina. Ko na površje priplava neprijetna družinska skrivnost, so trije možje prisiljeni uvideti sami sebe v novi luči, pri tem pa morajo na novo opredeliti svoje najgloblje potrebe in želje. Joachim Trier s svojim značilnim hipnotičnim, a obenem silovitim in vedrim slogom sestavi bogat mozaik skrbno izbranih detajlov in sanjavih pokrajin, v katerem osupljive podobe sooči z neizprosnim razkrivanjem človeške narave. 

Film se ukvarja z idejo razvoja v okviru družine, z vprašanjem sožitja, potrebo po ločenosti in jazu, vlogi spomina. Abstrakten je, vendar v življenju naletimo na ta vprašanja. Odraščal sem ob številnih filmih ameriške zahodne obale: Kramer proti Kramerju, Navadni ljudje, Sobotni klub, ki vsi prikazujejo družine iz predmestja z jesenskim listjem. Ugotoviti sem hotel, kako bi bilo ustvariti sodobno različico filma, ki se ukvarja z družbenimi odnosi in sodobno družino. (Joachim Trier)

[ENG]

On the eve of an exhibition honoring noted war photographer Isabelle Reed (Isabelle Huppert), whose career was cut short in the wake of her untimely death, a father and two sons grapple with her domestic and professional legacy. Flashbacks of Isabelle's conflated role of wife, mother and photojournalist intermingle with the present-day attempts of the Reeds to manage their grief amid combat of a different kind. Family patriarch Gene (Gabriel Byrne) discovers secrets about his late spouse while pursuing a new romance and struggling to connect with teenage son Conrad (Devin Druid), who hides in video games and introspection. Adult son Jonah (Jesse Eisenberg) takes leave from academic and married life to organize his mother's archive, only to slip into reckless behavior. Past and present coalesce in sharp focus as the surviving Reeds come to terms with love and loss - locating in memories both painful and joyous the skills they need to soldier on...
