Maison du Bonheur

2016's Emerging Canadian Director award-winner Sofia Bohdanowicz (Never Eat Alone) returns with the colourful documentary Maison du bonheur.

When asked to make a film about her friend's mother, a widowed Parisian astrologer named Juliane, the director sets off for Montmartre and produces a lovingly made portrait of an infectiously exuberant personality and the lovely pre-war apartment she's called home for 50 years.

Shooting gorgeously on 16mm, Bohdanowicz again transforms quotidian details into beauty.
