VIOLETTE
Based on the international bestselling novel Fresh Water for Flowers, Violette is the latest feature from the visionary director of Amélie, Jean-Pierre Jeunet.
Violette Toussaint (a wonderful performance from Leïla Bekhti) is a cemetery caretaker in a small town in Burgundy. A unique observer and compassionate listener, her peaceful life is filled by conversations with her fellow-workers and the many visitors who share their stories of love, loss, and life. Her routine is disrupted when a local police chief arrives at her door with an unusual request. As they grow closer, Violette comes to understand that the truth behind long-buried mysteries in her past must be uncovered if she wants to take another chance on life and love.
