At the center of the most important films Mia Hansen-Lovepractically all he does is emotions, the passage of time, changes in the life stage and culture as something fundamental and that defines us. In Tout est pardonné (2007), ‘Le pere de mes enfants’ (2009), his best film to dateor ‘Un amour de jeunesse’ (2011) and ‘One fine morning’, family drama in which she returns to purity from his first movies.

‘It’s a beautiful morning’ stars with a strong autobiographical component, something also common in the filmmaker’s filmography a young mother (Léa Seydoux) who is also busy raising her daughter and taking care of her fathera former professor suffering from a neurodegenerative disease, and a relationship with a married friend. Hansen-Løve has the ability to:and make the hard easy, the most complex thing is to let the contradictions and heartaches of human beings flow in his films with overwhelming naturalness.

There’s something mysterious about this talent, but it’s about his deep humanism, his knack as a casting director. (Seydoux’s commentary is one of the coolest things we’ll see this year.), the way he gives life to places and the way he tells about emotional changes through daily journeys. All of this makes ‘A Beautiful Morning’ a beautiful as well as vivid film about the contrast between our vulnerability and ourselves. our ability to recover after a shipwreck. It should not go unnoticed that Hansen-Løve, through his father figure (Pascal Greggory, enormous), tells us that we too are what we read.
