My Golden Days
From March 11th through March 17th, the Film Society of Lincoln Center will be presenting a comprehensive retrospective of the films of Arnaud Desplechin, one of the most exciting and remarkable of contemporary filmmakers, whose extraordinary body of work includes such impressive achievements as: La Sentinelle, his fascinating and enigmatic first feature (regrettably screening in a digital format); My Sex Life… or How I Got Into an Argument, arguably his masterpiece (alas, also being screened in digital); and the absorbing Kings and Queen, one of his finest accomplishments.
The series is being launched to celebrate the release of the director’s beautiful new feature, the autobiographical My Golden Days, which will open at the Film Society on March 18th, and will be shown in a sneak preview on March 15th followed by Q&A with Desplechin (He will also be appearing on the 18th and the 19th).
My Golden Days revisits the character of Paul Dédalus, the fascinating protagonist of My Sex Life… or How I Got Into an Argument, reprised here by the outstanding Mathieu Amalric, an axiom for this filmmaker. A compelling tale of adolescent love, the film centers on the young Dédalus, convincingly played by the attractive Quentin Dolmaire, and the object of his passion, lusciously incarnated by Lou Roy-Lecollinet. Desplechin’s early work featured a controlled style but he plumbed a thrillingly manic, messier mode in such works as Kings and Queen and A Christmas Tale; My Golden Days is less formally original although it is unusually moving in effect and will surely prove to be one of the more memorable films of the year.
My Golden Days is a Magnolia Pictures release.
