The Son's Room
Drawing primarily from our 35mm collection, we are presenting an exquisite spring bouquet of Palme d’or winners to coincide with the can’t-miss Cannes Film Festival.
Winner of the Palme d'or and the FIPRESCI Prize, 2001 Cannes Film Festival
A close-knit and happy family is plunged into grief and guilt following the accidental death of their son. More than just a reflection on death, this film focuses on depicting the reactions of those left behind—particularly the father, a psychoanalyst who is accustomed to dealing with others’ suffering, but is now confronted with his own pain.
