The latest film by the director of "Portrait of a Lady of Fire" centers on a mother and daughter who meet in a time-travel scenario when they’re both 8 years old.April 27, 2022, 5:40 PM UTCAlthough her most successful film, “Portrait of a Lady on Fire,” is about adult female desire, Celine Sciamma has spent her career crafting stories about childhood.
Coinciding with her departure, Nelly meets a young playmate in the woods surrounding the house. And, almost instantly, she understands that this girl, Marion — who bears an uncanny resemblance to Nelly and shares her mother’s name — is her mother.Marion invites Nelly to her nearby home, which turns out to be a retro replica of Nelly's grandmothers house, down to the kitchen wallpaper that was painted over in redecorating.
“When they were gone, I was the age that they had already had my parents,” Sciamma said. “It’s not a given that you’re going to do that. It’s an opportunity that life gives you — as [with] friendship and a lot of things — to grow old together,” she said. “Petite Maman” is full of these embedded personal details and hidden dynamics, which reveal themselves bit by bit, despite its short, 72-minute runtime.
