WILD GRASS (Les Herbes Folles)
  • "Like its would-be lovers, WILD GRASS chases itself in circles as it scrambles genres, examining seeing, thinking, remembering and imagining with a zany awareness. In Georges’s words: “After the cinema nothing surprises you. Everything is possible.” - New York Times
  • "A typically poignant lifestory illuminated by strong turns from Dussollier and Azéma, Alain Resnais' latest is one to stir the brain as well as the heart." - Empire

A wallet lost and found opens the door - slightly - to Georges and Marguerite’s romantic adventure. After examining the ID of its owner, it is not a simple matter for Georges to turn in to the police the red wallet he has found. Nor can Marguerite retrieve her wallet without being piqued with curiosity about the person who found it. As George and Marguerite navigate the social protocols of giving and acknowledging thanks, turbulence enters their everyday lives.

The new film by Alain Resnais, WILD GRASS, is based on the novel L'incident by Christian Gailly.
