Film La Venue de l'avenir (Colors of Time) at OKCMOA
A stunning celebration of French art, culture, and history, writer-director Cédric Klapisch’s (Back to Burgundy) time-hopping drama follows four distant relatives who inherit a house in rural Normandy and uncover their family’s past in 19th-century Paris.
In French with English subtitles. (124 minutes)
“A group of strangers, all descendants of a woman named Adèle Meunier, are gathered in Normandy. The town would like to purchase her long-abandoned property, and four “cousins” are tasked with overseeing the transaction. Thus begins a genealogical journey into the past, taking us to 1895 Paris, with the City of Light on the brink of an industrial and cultural revolution. Aptly entitled ‘The Coming of the Future’ in French, Colors of Time literally plunges us into a moment in time when Parisian creativity is at its apex… when not only electricity and technology, but photography and Impressionism in painting and music are creating a spark that’s about to erupt into a movement far beyond anyone’s expectations. Cédric Klapisch‘s endearing new comedy is nothing less than a soul-stirring, time-traveling – at times, hallucinogenic – trip for lovers of the arts everywhere.” -Distrib Films
