35 SHOTS OF RUM

Synopsis

Hailed as one of the year's best films upon its release and even more universally admired today, Claire Denis' 35 Shots of Rum is the story of a father (Alex Descas) and daughter (Mati Diop) whose tender domestic routine is disrupted by a handsome young suitor (Grégoire Colin). With sumptuous images from Agnès Godard and an endearing Tindersticks score, 35 Shots of Rum is a gentle, Ozu-inspired look at a small family in the moment before everything changes.
