Fans of Mélanie Laurent can count on the Film Movement folks to import one of her French title items a little bit past the midday point this year (third quarter), as the mini label picked up The Day I Saw Your Heart – a Jennifer Devoldère signed dramedy featuring Laurent, Michel Blanc and Florence Loiret Caille.
Gist: AKA Et Soudain Tout le Monde me Manque (which translates to And Suddenly I Miss Everyone) Families are complicated… Especially when Eli, the father, who’s about to be 60, is expecting a baby with his new wife. Upon hearing this news, his two grown daughters, Dom, who is trying to adopt, and Justine, who flits from one boyfriend to the next, are shocked…
Worth Noting: This is collaboration number two between the helmer and the actress: Mélanie Laurent previously toplined Devoldère’s feature debut, Shoe at Your Foot (2009).
Do We Care?: Despite whimsical appearance from the likes of Laurent and Blanc in full argumentative mode, by the looks of the trailer below, this French number actually comes across like generic U.S dramedy fare.
