Yves Caumon Leaves Nest with ‘L’oiseau’

A cinematheque curator would have a tough time running a series on French filmmaker Yves Caumon. Unlike the prolific Ozon, Caumon, a full time film professor takes his time between his film – his notable first two have been the Cannes selected 2001’s Amours d’enfance and 2005’s Cache-cache.

Cineuropa.org reports that Caumon’s third film has taken flight. L’oiseau which has already begun lensing with Sandrine Kiberlain (Mademoiselle Chambon) in the lead, alongside Clément Sibony, Bruno Todeschini and Serge Riaboukine. Scripted by Caumon, the film centres on Anne (Kiberlain) who has lost a child. With no friends and no love, her life seems to be over already. Nobody sees or notices her and she ensures it stays that way. She effectively retires from life, in the middle of everyone. But one day, years later, a bird falls into the chimney shaft of her home and everything changes. Logic would be for this film to be presented in May of a festival that has ben kind to him.
