Tale
Legendary filmmaker Mike Lee returns to the contemporary world with a gritty, compassionate, and often darkly humorous study of family and the thorny bonds that bind us. Reuniting with Lee for the first time since the multiple Oscar-nominated Secrets and Lies, the stunning Marianne stars as Jean-Baptiste Pansy, a fear-ridden, grief-stricken woman driven to unleash angry, violent attacks on her husband, her son, and anyone who crosses her path. Meanwhile, her quiet younger sister, played by Michelle Austin (Another Year), is a single mother whose life is as different from their conflicted nature as her salon clients. This expansive film by a master of theater takes us into the intensity of kinship, duty, and human mysteries: Even through lives filled with pain and hardship, we find ways to love those we call family.
