Le jour des rois
1991
Synopsis
Three elderly sisters get together, just like they do every Sunday. They have little in common, one could even say, they’re often hostile with each other. On this special Epiphany Sunday, however, the atmosphere is more electric than usual.
Editorial
In this charming film from Marie-Claude Treilhou (Simone Barbès), three women—played by French acting royalty!—anticipate sharing a Chinese meal, their faces framed by lace antimacassars. Feast days are a prickly mix of past and present, and here tradition jostles amusingly with the new and untried.
