For La Venue de l’avenir (Colors of Time), his 15th feature film, Cédric Klapisch, one of France’s most beloved filmmakers with seven films that have attracted over a million viewers, has assembled a star-studded cast. He tells the story – a bit of a fairy tale – of a family that brilliantly flits from one era to another to address topics close to the filmmaker’s heart: transmission and legacy.
Cinematographer Alexis Kavyrchine, who has already worked with Cédric Klapisch on several of his films, including Ce qui nous lie (Back to Burgundy) and En corps (Rise), has created a subtle visual style for his latest film, capturing both the contemporary era and the late 19th century. La Venue de l’avenir is being screened Out of competition at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. (BB)
