Guillaume Canet gives a superb, career-best performance in IN THE NAME OF THE LAND (M), the remarkable and heartfelt rural drama about succession and resilience from debut film by photo-journalist Édouard Bergeon which became an unexpected box office phenomenon and national talking-point in France.

Melbourne Premiere Season Commences 3 December
Where: Palace Balwyn, Brighton Bay, Cinema Como, Westgarth, Kino Cinema and Cinema Nova

About IN THE NAME OF THE LAND:
The debut feature of photojournalist Édouard Bergeon, the film is a deeply personal one, inspired by his own childhood and dedicated to his parents. It tells the story of Pierre (Guillaume Canet), who returns from Wyoming to the Mayenne district of France in the late 70’s to marry his sweetheart and take over his imperious father’s farm. The couple have two children, and for many years, life is good. But the business is soon placed under enormous pressure, and what was once satisfying begins to take an insidious toll on the family.

This beautifully acted, humane and empathetic film drew critical plaudits and countrywide attention upon release; through word-of-mouth and social media it quickly achieved more than 2 million admissions, making it one of France’s top five films of the year. Rich in resonances that are bound to strike a deep chord with Australian audiences, this is cinema that leaves an indelible mark.

The Australian Premiere season of IN THE NAME OF THE LAND (M) is now screening at selected independent cinemas nationally. For further information visit the official website.
