Nathalie (The Piano Teacher’s Isabelle Huppert) is a philosophy teacher who struggles with student activism, the changing environment of academic publishing, and an extremely needy and self-destructive mother (Holy Motors’s Edith Scob). At home, she lives a more tranquil existence with her husband of twenty-five years, Heinz—until the latter drops the bombshell that he’s leaving her for another woman. Written and directed by thirty-five-year-old French director Mia Hansen-Løve (Goodbye First Love), who already is one of her country’s finest working filmmakers, Things to Come sees Hansen-Løve moving beyond her previous youthful subjects as she considers the sudden rootlessness of her middle-aged heroine. A richly intelligent and moving piece of personal filmmaking that calls to mind Abbas Kiarostami’s Certified Copy and the films of Eric Rohmer, Things to Come is most notable for Huppert’s standout performance, for which she is receiving considerable Best Actress buzz. Few of Huppert’s performances are more deserving than her work for this superb film.
Director Mia Hansen-Løve 2016 France 100 minutes NR DCP
