Description

Juliette Binoche delivers a luminous performance in the deliciously witty, sensuously romantic new film — “Let the Sunshine In” — from acclaimed director Claire Denis.

Isabelle (Binoche) is a divorced Parisian painter searching for another shot at love, but refusing to settle for the parade of all-too-flawed men who drift in and out of her life. There’s a caddish banker (Xavier Beauvois) who, like many of her lovers, happens to be married; a handsome actor (Nicolas Duvauchelle) who’s working through his own hang-ups; and a sensitive fellow artist (Alex Descas) who’s skittish about commitment.

What reads like a standard romantic comedy premise is transformed, in the hands of master filmmaker Denis, into something altogether deeper, more poignant, and perceptive about the profound mysteries of love.

“The great Binoche performance of the decade!” — Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

“Luminous! Binoche delivers the sort of soul-baring performance we’ve come to expect, but with a humor and candor rare for even her.” — K. Austin Collins, Vanity Fair

“A sophisticated delight.” — Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

“Exquisite!” — Richard Brody, The New Yorker
