To celebrate the opening of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, Amélie Bonnin’s first feature film, Partir un jour (Leave One Day), was screened on Tuesday 13 May in Cannes and in a number of cinemas across France. For this feature-length adaptation of her 2021 short film of the same name, the director has surrounded herself with the same cast and technical team, including David Cailley, AFC, as cinematographer. Far from the conventions of musicals, the director of photography and the director sought a naturalistic, documentary-style look to accompany this sensitive, funny and moving film about returning to one’s roots, parental heritage and first love.
