Louis Garrel : 2018
A Faithful Man
Marianne leaves Abel for Paul, his best friend and the father of her unborn child. Eight years later, Paul dies. As they meet again, Abel decides to win back Marianne, arousing feelings of jealousy in both Marianne's son, Joseph, and Paul's sister, Eva, who has secretly loved Abel since childhood. As the plot snakes through the bric-à-brac of Abel's days, we find an ironic and sympathetic sensibility on display. Rather than being in control, Abel is acted on, as he good-humouredly tries to navigate the challenges that come his way. Louis Garrel's second feature premiered in Special Presentations at Toronto International Film Festival 2018, and won the Jury Prize for Best Screenplay when it had its European premiere at San Sebastián International Film Festival 2018.
