After featuring in competition for the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2018 with Girls of the Sun, director Eva Husson returned to the French Riviera with her latest, an adaptation of Graham Swift’s novel Mothering Sunday, in this year’s inaugural Cannes Première sidebar. Featuring an all-star cast including Odessa Young, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth and Olivia Colman, this poetic character-driven drama set in Britain’s interwar period is an affecting ode to loss, mourning, and forbidden love.
