I watched the French film L'âge de raison (The Age of Reason) a few months ago, but never got around to posting these screenshots. Directed by Yann Samuell, it stars Sophie Marceau, Marton Csokas (a New Zealander), and Michel Duchaussoy.
Margaret (Sophie Marceau) receives a letter on her fortieth birthday, written by herself thirty-three years before; reminding her of the promises she had made as a seven year old, and ultimately makes her rethink her life. At the time I chose this film to watch, I picked it purely for the picture of this pretty white and red dress depicted on the back of the DVD case, and it was definitely not misleading. With beautifully composed scenes of vivid colours and costuming, L'âge de raison is as much a visual indulgence as it is a light-hearted story.
