The breakout French hit of the 2017 Cannes International Film Festival, where it premiered in the Directors’ Fortnight to multiple, raucous standing ovations, writer/director Carine Tardieu’s charming romantic comedy Just To Be Sure is a winning tale of parenthood, love and family, both lost and found.
When lonely 45-year-old widower Erwan discovers by accident that that man who raised him isn’t his real father, he begins a search for his biological one.
Thanks to a local private detective he soon locates the mischievous, 70-something Joseph, whom it seems his mother may have known briefly. Erwan soon falls not only for his charm, but that of the impetuous Anna, who has ties to them both.
But the conflicting loyalties become compounded by the pregnancy of his own daughter, who defiantly refuses to name the father. Erwan’s families then begin to collide, to unexpected, hilarious and moving effect.
Offering a terrific showcase for her brilliant cast, director Carine Tardieu skillfully weaves a wholly-entertaining exploration of love, coincidence and human connection.
Tickets are $16. Coffee and cakes are included. For further information visit www.tareefilmsociety.org.au or call 0439 903 477.
