Arnaud Desplechin : 2015
My Golden Days
Paul Dédalus is about to leave Tadzhikistan. He remembers... His childhood in Roubaix... His mother's insane outbursts... The bond between himself and his younger brother, Ivan, a pious and violent child... He remembers... When he was sixteen... His father, an inconsolable widower... This journey to the USSR on a clandestine mission, which led him to offer his own identity to a young Russian man... He remembers when he was nineteen, his sister Delphine, his cousin Bob, the wild nights with Pénélope, Mehdi, and Kovalki, the friend who had to betray him... His studies in Paris, his encounter with Dr Béhanzin, his blossoming vocation for anthropology... And above all, Paul remembers Esther. She was the love of his life, she was "a fanatical sweetheart". Arnaud Desplechin's feature was winner of the SACD Prize when it premiered at the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at Festival de Cannes 2015.
