THE TREE, beautiful mystical drama by Julie Bertuccelli, opens in LA on 7/22
Friday July 22, 2011 - Friday July 29, 2011 from 12:00pm - 11:00pm
Landmark's Nuart Theatre
11272 Santa Monica Boulevard

The exquisite Charlotte Gainsbourg (Antichrist, I’m Not There) stars in French filmmaker Julie Bertuccelli’s achingly beautiful follow-up to her sleeper hit Since Otar Left. The Closing Night Film at Cannes in 2010, THE TREE is a mystical drama of loss and rebirth in the Australian countryside. Not since classic 1970s works Picnic at Hanging Rock and Walkabout has the harshly gorgeous outback landscape been such a lyrical yet foreboding metaphor for grief and coming of age.

Blindsided with anguish after her husband’s sudden death, Dawn (Gainsbourg) –along with her four young children- struggles to make sense of life without him. Eight-year-old Simone (unforgettable newcomer Morgana Davies) becomes convinced that her father is whispering to her through the leaves of the gargantuan fig tree that towers over their house. The family is initially comforted by its presence, but then the tree’s enormous roots slowly begin to encroach on the abode and threaten their fragile existence…

“I shall never see a film as lovely as THE TREE…Comes close to perfection!” –The Australian

“Beautifully made, beautifully acted” –At The Movies

“Just remarkable! Morgana Davies simply steals the show. Quite simply a beautiful film” –Sky News

“4 Stars! A visual and kinetic tour de force that has a startling impact!” –The Age

“A delicate portrayal of a family coming to terms with disaster… Gainsbourg and newcomer Davies both give genuinely sensitive turns as their characters hesitate to move on with the living.” –Time Out Hong Kong

The film’s running time is 100 minutes, and is not rated. In English.
