JEUDI CINÉMA: Adieu Berthe
In February, we are glad to present Adieu Berthe, a French film by Bruno Podalydès. From the same wave as the British film Death at a Funeral, this satirical comedy brings us to reconsider the complexity of human interactions and the nearly impossible task to “choose” between one thing or another. Beautiful, moving and intelligent, Adieu Berthe is yet surprisingly light.
We cordially invite you to be our guest for this private screening on Thursday, February 21th, 2012 at 6:45PM, at Alliance Française du Manitoba.
Part of the selection for the 2012 Cannes Film Festival Directors’ Fortnight, Adieu Berthe is an original movie you don’t want to miss!
*Screened in French with English subtitles.

Storyline
Struggling with complicated family dynamics and a full-blown mid-life crisis, a small-town chemist is forced to reassess his tangled love life. When his grandmother Berthe dies, he is faced with the profound existential question – do we burn Granny or bury her?
