Cinema Releases - The House by the Sea
By a little bay near Marseilles lies a picturesque villa owned by an old man. His three children have gathered by his side for his last days: Angela, an actress living in Paris, Joseph, who has just fallen in love with a girl half his age and Armand, the only one who stayed behind in Marseilles to run the family’s small restaurant. It’s time for them to weigh up what they have inherited of their father’s ideals and the community spirit he created in this magical place. The arrival, at a nearby cove, of a group of boat people will throw these moments of reflection into turmoil.

★★★★ "A treat for fans of French art house movies"
Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent
★★★★ "Perfectly balanced. Always compassionate.'
Kevin Mahler, The Times
★★★★"Pierre Milon's shimmering cinematography ensures that the Calanque de Méjean provides an atmospheric setting for the musings on tradition, memory, depopulation, class and defying age, with the final sequence beneath the echoing arches of the railway viaduct being indescribably beautiful."
David Parkinson, Empire
★★★★"The House by the Sea is certainly one to be visited not only for its stunning scenery and careful, sensitive and honest acting and direction but because it manages to address key controversial issues about immigration without ever preaching too overtly."
Jonathan Marshall, The Upcoming
★★★★"A father’s legacy is minutely dissected in this stirring tale of regret, nostalgia and the true meaning of community spirit."
Victor Fraga, DMovies
★★★★ ‘Ariane Ascaride is outstanding’
Chris Schilling, Total Film
