Il terzo film di Alice Winocour, Proxima, ha conteso fino all’ultimo a Portrait of a Lady on Fire e I miserabili, il posto come rappresentante francese agli Oscar.
Si tratta di un’avventura spaziale interpretata da Eva Green nei panni di un’astronauta divisa tra la sua missione e la famiglia.
Accanto a lei ci sono Matt Dillon, Zélie Boulant-Lemesle, Aleksey Fateev, Lars Eidinger e Sandra Hüller.
Il film ha debuttato a Toronto, ma non ha ancora una distribuzione internazionale.
As the French member — and the only mother — on an international crew, Sarah balances the taxing physical training required for a year-long mission aboard the International Space Station with her daughter Stella’s routine of meals and bedtimes. Sarah’s powerful, protective love for Stella, only seven, sometimes pulls at her commitment to her profession. Her male colleagues include an old-school Russian and a veteran American space cowboy (Matt Dillon), both seemingly untroubled by their own family responsibilities. As the liftoff date approaches, Sarah must travel to the launch site and go into quarantine — away from her daughter, who is struggling with her mother’s conflicting priorities. Will Stella’s matter-of-fact counsellor (Toni Erdmann’s brilliant Sandra Hüller) bridge their emotional divide?
