Legends of French cinema Catherine Deneuve and Juliette Binoche join filmmaker Hirokazu Koreeda (Shoplifters, Still Walking) to paint a moving portrait of family dynamics in THE TRUTH. Fabienne (Deneuve) is an aging French movie star who, despite her momentary lapses in memory, remains a venerable force to be reckoned with. Upon the publication of her memoirs, her daughter Lumir (Binoche) returns to Paris with her husband (Hawke) and their young daughter to commemorate its release. A sharp and funny battle of wits ensues between mother-daughter duo, as Lumir takes issue with Fabienne’s rose-colored version of the past. Reflected by Fabienne’s latest role in a sci-fi drama, their strained relationship takes a poignant journey toward possible reconciliation. Charming, bold, and imbued with endless emotional insight, THE TRUTH offers a relatable look at human relationships.
