'One Fine Morning' Trailer: Léa Seydoux Directs Mia Hansen-Løve's Infidelity Drama

After the success of "Bergman Island" in 2021, it should be abundantly clear that when Mia Hansen-Løve releases a new relationship drama, moviegoers should take notice. The author returns to familiar territory with his latest work, the Léa Seydoux-directed infidelity story "One Fine Morning", which was a hit at the Cannes Film Festival and has now released a trailer ahead of its theatrical release. .

According to the film's official synopsis, Sandra (Léa Seydoux) is a young widowed mother raising her daughter on her own, while caring for her sick father (Pascal Greggory). She deals with the loss of the relationship she once had with her father, while she and her mother and sister fight to get him the care he needs. At the same time, Sandra reconnects with Clément (Melvil Poupaud), a friend she hasn't seen for a long time and, although he is married, their friendship quickly turns into a passionate affair.

In his review of the film, David Ehrlich of IndieWire wrote: "While Hansen-Løve's naturalistic rhythms and holistic approach to drama have always kept his films from seeming as prescriptive as some love critics are likely to make them ringing, 'One Fine Morning' also crystallizes the filmmaker's rare and effortless ability to chart a clear path through stormy waters.It's true that Sandra can translate sadness into joy, just as it's true that doing so allows him to separate them from each other (a clever form of self-defense for someone who would rather pretend their love life is behind them than risk being wrecked again)."

Ehrlich continued: "And yet this effervescent slice of life, as palpable and vivid as a gust of summer air rustling the trees along the Seine (the typically vibrant 35mm cinematography of Denis Lenoir in assures), is never didactic in a way that makes "One Fine Morning" a clichéd story about how Sandra finds her groove. On the contrary, Hansen-Løve traced her own paternal grief in a sketch of a illuminating honesty about how loss is necessary for rebirth, the inextricable guilt of personal fulfillment, and the present worth savoring for its role in bringing the past and future together - rather than as a buffer for separate."

Sony Pictures Classics will release "One Fine Morning" in New York and Los Angeles on Friday, January 27 after an Oscar-qualifying theatrical week starting December 9. Watch the trailer below.
