The Dandelions (Du Vent Dans Mes Mollets) - NCJF's Jewishfilm.2013
Screening at West Newton Cinema
MASSACHUSETTS PREMIERE
Sassy nine-year-old Rachel Gladstein (Juliette Gombert) lives with her adoring but overprotective Tunisian-Jewish, meatball fixated mother (Agnès Jaoui) and distracted Holocaust survivor father (Denis Podalydès) in 1980s provincial France. Rachel forms a bond with her eccentric child psychologist Madame Trebla (Isabella Rossellini) and a new best friend, wild-child classmate Valérie (Anna Lemarchand). Adapted from a novel by Raphaële Moussafir and featuring engaging performances by a cast of A-list actors, The Dandelions brims with quirky charm and humor, imaginative production design, and an unpredictable story suspended between realism, pathos, and flights of fancy.
