Mia Hansen-Løve on Maya and Bergman Island: "You could eventually say that hauntedness is the one thing maybe the two films have in common." Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze
In Margarethe von Trotta's Searching For Ingmar Bergman, Mia Hansen-Løve speaks about how Ingmar Bergman's house on Fårö is haunted. Mia's Maya tells the story of journalist Gabriel (Roman Kolinka) who was a hostage in Syria, together with his associate Frédéric (Alex Descas). Returning to France, he cannot cope. Gabriel tells the psychologist (François Loriquet): "The worst was feeling guilty." But he doesn't want therapy because he himself "works with words." It is "the kidnappers who need analysis." His former girlfriend Naomi (Judith Chemla) serenades him with Schubert "Liebchen, komm zu mir!" but not even the moonlight can make him reconnect.

Mia Hansen-Løve’s best films envelop the viewer so persuasively in their currents of feeling that it can take you a moment or two to notice how coolly and methodically constructed they are: the revealing agility of her camera placement, the sharp economy of her editing, the often rich irony of her musical selections, all subtly contributing to character portraits of granular depth. In “Maya,” her sixth and most internationally-minded feature, those virtues hit you straight away, only to reveal more grace and precision in the framing than in the rather hazily conceived characters themselves. A study of a European man’s healing Indian odyssey that gives in all too frequently to hoary colonial romanticism, this is the first stumble in Hansen-Løve’s hitherto impressive filmography — the kind of directorial misstep that at least makes it clear how deft her footwork usually is.

An overstretched film producer shoots himself in the head when the bank refuses to extend him the credit he needs for his latest movie, leaving his widow to finish the project. A mediocre French DJ fritters away the best 20 years of his life before coming to grips with the fact that he’ll never be Daft Punk. A middle-aged professor doesn’t know what to do with herself after her husband leaves her for a younger woman; she’s not unhappy so much as burdened by the unbearable lightness of freedom.
It would be an understatement to say that change does not come naturally to the characters of Mia Hansen-Løve, a 38-year-old auteur whose first six films have established her as one of modern cinema’s most compelling voices — these are people who define themselves by their partners and vocations, and would rather kamikaze their entire lives than dare to adjust course.

Mia Hansen-Løve’s Maya marks a gemstone in this year’s Rendezvous with French Cinema. Though her latest film is still without release in the U.S., the writer-director’s reputation is so set amongst American cinephiles that it could hardly be another way: each marks a cause-celebre-of-sorts with a crowd who’ve come to expect complex, carefully delineated emotional wavelengths and rigorous-but-unobtrustive visual style. Maya has much of that, but a more severe focus on trauma, physical danger, and its slow drive through the (otherwise beautiful) Indian countryside has, for many, make it a tad more difficult to adore.
Hansen-Løve is nevertheless clear-headed in elaborating on her choices and psychological path through Maya. To speak to her–and, I hope, to read this interview–is to experience an expansion of her cinema’s emotional current. And, of course, I had to ask about Michael Mann.

"What are you doing in Goa?" Les Films du Losange has revealed the first official trailer for the indie drama Maya, the latest film made by acclaimed French filmmaker Mia Hansen-Løve. This film is mostly in English, as it's about a French war journalist who makes it home after being held captive in Syria. He travels to Goa, India where he meets an intelligent young woman and spends time trying to recover. Roman Kolinka stars as the French man, and Aarshi Banerjee stars as Maya, with a small cast including Suzan Anbeh, Judith Chemla, Anjali Khurana, and Pathy Aiyar. I saw this at the Toronto Film Festival where it premiered (read my full review), and it's a bit low key, but still contains all the uplifting, honest emotions that make Mia Hansen-Løve's films so wonderful. See below. Here's the first official French trailer for Mia Hansen-Løve's Maya, direct from YouTube...

Following up Goodbye First Love, Things to Come, Eden, and more of the best films of the century thus far, Mia Hansen-Løve returned this year. Premiering on the fall festival circuit was her latest film, Maya, and while it’s still awaiting U.S. distribution, those in France are lucky enough to see it upon its release in December. Ahead of the theatrical release, the first trailer has arrived for the film that follows a French war reporter who was taken to hostage in Syria and then heads to India after months in captivity.
Josh Lewis said in his Tiff review, “Compounded by lush photography and carefully calibrated performances, Maya intimately renders the crushing and rehabilitative power of memory, taking hazy, elusive feelings and bringing them into the realm of the tangible.” See the trailer below for the film starring Roman Kolinka, Aarshi Banerjee, Alex Descas, Pathy Aiyar, Suzan Anbeh,...

Mia Hansen-Løve has carved a unique career for herself as a filmmaker of tacit sensitivity and stories on the margins of more familiar ones. Eden traversed the well-worn story of a rise-and-fall musician by having him never truly rise in the first place; instead exploring the tragedy of a young DJ talented enough to make it a career but not enough to become as big a success as he needs to before his trend of music is over. Hansen-Løve’s ephemeral sense of structure makes it feel like a decade floats by while he’s stuck in a slow-motion spiral of pain and sacrifices so that his life can remain static. Things to Come pulled a similar trick taking the existential mid-life crisis that is forced upon its central character—due to an unexpected divorce, and her obsolescence at home and work—and mining it for the subtle freedoms and...

The Notebook is covering Tiff with an on-going correspondence between critics Kelley Dong and Daniel Kasman.aKashaDear Kelley,The festival definitely is changing now: the industry-oriented market side of the event has finished, so many sales agents and distributors and other such folk have decamped, even as premieres keep being revealed, and audiences are delighted (or exasperated). There's still plenty on my schedule and plenty more I want to share with you.Are there filmmakers for you, Kelley, whose sensibility you embrace but whose films you sometimes struggle to like? That, for me, is Mia Hansen-Løve, who has made six features to date, two of which I think knock it out of the park—The Father of My Children and Things to Come. But her other recent work, including Goodbye, First Love, Eden, and now Maya, may resonate with a sensibility of intelligent compassion and emotional insight, yet tell stories I find torpid.

Maya Love is Your Love: Hansen-Love Stumbles with Sluggish Romantic Drama
Following on the heels of her most widely acclaimed feature to date, 2016’s Things to Come (review), which nabbed her a Best Director win out of the Berlin International Film Festival (making her one of three women to hold this distinction to date), French auteur Mia Hansen-Love’s sixth feature, Maya, arrives as something of a disappointment. Documenting the slow-burn romance between a traumatized French war-reporter and a younger Indian woman still figuring out what she wants to do with her life, Hansen-Love includes many of her favored themes, which would include utilizing actor Roman Kolinka (who also appeared in Eden and Things to Come).…...

The people in Mia Hansen-Løve’s movies always struggle with change — specifically, with those bittersweet moments between major life events, which percolate with the sadness of uncertainty and the romance of something new. In “Father of My Children,” a family is dissolved by a sudden death that forces them to reconstitute who they are. In “Eden,” an aspiring French DJ fritters away the best 20 years of his life before coming to grips with the fact that he’ll never be Daft Punk. And in the extraordinary “Things to Come,” a middle-aged professor is burdened with the full weight of a newfound freedom after her husband leaves her for a younger woman.
Change, it seems, is the only constant in Hansen-Løve’s remarkable and constantly surprising body of work, which has already confirmed the 37-year-old filmmaker as one of modern cinema’s most brilliant new voices. But change, in her movies,...

As has become commonplace for the annual event, the Cannes Film Festival’s competition slate continues to be dominated by male directors. Announced yesterday, the 2018 competition lineup includes the highest number of films from female filmmakers since 2011, and the festival will play home to new works from Nadine Labaki, Eva Husson, and Alice Rohrwacher. At the festival’s announcement press conference, artistic director Thierry Frémaux hinted that another work from a woman could be added to the lineup in the coming days.
In years past, Frémaux has blamed the lack of female directors on the Cannes slate on the discrepancy between how many male and female directors are working today, and yet Cannes has often programmed and championed a number of the film world’s best female filmmakers. The lack of many of them from this year’s lineup is jarring — though, to be fair, this year’s lineup is...

Mia Hansen-Løve’s portrait of the travails of a middle-aged philosophy teacher is a plum acting vehicle for Isabelle Huppert It steers clear of crazy, extraordinary events to instead offer insights into how real people live and cope. The professor must dip into her subject matter to make sense of her life, and comes up sane. Folks expecting a feel-good satire about ‘goofy’ women can make do with Sally Field in Hello, My Name is Doris. Mia and Isabelle do well here.

Isabelle Huppert is stirring Oscar talk (and she damn well should) for the potent provocation of her acting in Elle, directed by Dutch wildman Paul Verhoeven. But to see her in Things to Come, as a character who is the polar opposite of the powerhouse she plays in that story of rape and revenge, is to cement Huppert's reputation as one of the best actresses on the planet. Written and directed by Mia Hansen-Love (Eden), the film gives the legendary French star the role of Nathalie, a Paris philosophy professor whose academic husband,...

One of the greatest anxieties that any couple can have is the possibility of one day separating from each other. With each “I love you” comes an expectation that this love will be forever. It is easy for couples to imagine others separating but is much more difficult to imagine this happening to themselves. Separation is all the harder to imagine—and is especially difficult to handle—once has reached a certain age and has built a life with their spouse. One builds this life according to certain habits and creates an imaginary wall around relationships, but with the wall destroyed one might feel profoundly lost. Mia Hansen-Løve’s film Things to Come deals closely with the struggles of separation for a middle-aged woman. For Hansen-Løve, it seems that one can deal with and potentially overcome the pain of separation if they know the issue and propose a proper method for dealing with it.

After directing one of the year’s finest performances with Isabelle Huppert in Things to Come, director Mia Hansen-Løve is set to team with another French acting legend for her next project. The Eden director has been prepping Maya for some time, and now we have the confirmed ensemble. Alongside newcomer Aarshi Banerjee, frequent collaborator Roman Kolinka, and Cédric Kahn (After Love), Juliette Binoche has also joined the drama.
The film follows a 30-year-old man named Gabriel, a French war reporter who was taken to hostage in Syria and then heads to India after months in captivity. The story will mainly focus on his journey to Goa, the state in western India where his childhood home is, to reflect on his life after his harrowing experience. Presumably Kolinka will take the lead role, but there’s no confirmation when it comes to any specifics.

Director Mia Hansen-Løve’s Things to Come (L’Avenir) is one of two dramas starring Isabelle Huppert to come to the New York Film Festival this year (the second is the very different Elle). It is Huppert’s undeniably riveting persona upon which Things to Come rests, as the film teases out her character’s complex strength and vulnerability into a fascinating character portrait of a woman on the edge of a changing life.
Huppert is Nathalie Chazeaux, a philosophy teacher in Paris married to Heinz (André Marcon), with two teenage children. Nathalie divides her time between teaching her classes, writing philosophical essays and textbooks, and taking care of her mother Yvette (Edith Scob), a depressive constantly threatening to commit suicide. Nathalie also has a warm relationship with her children and her former student Fabien (Roman Kolinka), a brilliant young intellectual and anarchist. But things begin to fall apart when...

"You act like everything's the same. What planet are you on?" IFC has unveiled an official Us trailer for the film Things to Come, the latest from French filmmaker Mia Hansen-Løve (read my interview with her here). This is also the other great Isabelle Huppert film this year, along with Paul Verhoeven's Elle (which Jeremy raved about at Fantastic Fest). This film has been playing the festival circuit since premiering at the Berlin Film Festival in February, and we already posted the UK trailer for it a few months ago. The full cast includes André Marcon, Roman Kolinka, and Edith Scob. The film follows a woman who experiences a few major shakeups in her life, including a divorce and the birth of a grandchild. It's a very philosophical but enjoyable film (there's a cute cat in it!), as expected from Mia Hansen-Løve. In theaters later this year. Here's the...

"To think... I've found my freedom." The official UK trailer for the new Mia Hansen-Løve film has debuted. Titled Things to Come, or L'avenir in French, the film stars Isabelle Huppert as a philosophy teacher dealing with various trials and tribulations later in her life, with her husband and children. The full cast includes André Marcon, Roman Kolinka, and Edith Scob. The film first premiered at the Berlin Film Festival and won a Silver Bear for Best Director, which was excellent because Mia Hansen-Løve is a very talented filmmaker. I interviewed her in Berlin, as I'm a huge fan of her past work as well, and wanted to talk with her about her films - read that here. This is a very philosophical film that will make you think deeply about life and where it all leads, all thanks to the always brilliant mind of Mia Hansen-Løve. Enjoy. Here's the...

In a new interview with Screen Daily, Mia Hansen-Løve mentioned two new projects either on her mind or in the works: “Maya,” which will star her “Things to Come” and “Eden” collaborator Roman Kolinka, and another film “inspired partly” by her husband Olivier Assayas. Assayas, himself a filmmaker, recently premiered “Personal Shopper” at Cannes.

The two have been married since 2009 and have a daughter named Vicky. Hansen-Løve has drawn inspiration from her personal life more than once, including her recent film, “Eden,” which is based on her brother Sven’s experiences in the world of electronic music; he co-wrote the script with her. “Things to Come,” which premiered in Berlin (where Hansen-Løve won the Silver Bear for Best Director), stars Isabelle Huppert as a character based loosely on the writer/director’s mother.

Hansen-Løve has drawn inspiration from her personal life more than once, including her recent film, “Eden,” which is based on her brother Sven’s experiences in the world of electronic music; he co-wrote the script with her. “Things to Come,” which premiered in Berlin (where Hansen-Løve won the Silver Bear for Best Director), stars Isabelle Huppert as a character based loosely on the writer/director’s mother.

Following her French music scene tale "Eden" and the Isabelle Huppert-led "Things To Come," filmmaker Mia Hansen-Love isn't slowing down with two more projects in the way.
The first is the thriller "Maya" which follows a French hostage, held in Syria, who works through his devastating experience by heading to India. Roman Kolinka will star in the project which aims to begin filming next year.
The second though is what's getting people talking - it will be a film inspired Hansen-Love's relationship with her husband, director Olivier Assayas ("Clouds of Sils Maria," "Carlos"). She says she trusts Assayas will be able to be objective as the project develops.
Talking about her working relationship with Screen Daily, she says: "From my first film, he was always the one I gave the script to and showed the first editing. He reads the script in a very early stage, even before I give anything to any producer.

Mia Hansen-Løve fosters no illusion about how her films’ connect to those in her close circle, be it deceased mentors (The Father of My Children), herself (Goodbye, First Love), her brother (Eden) — who, speaking for his family, told me that the experience “is a bit strange, but… I don’t know, we have to deal with it, anyway” — or her mother (the still-to-be-released Things to Come). One territory that has never quite been covered, as far as I can tell, is perhaps the most interesting: her marriage to the great Olivier Assayas, a filmmaker whose influence has been felt more in common narrative and formal interests than the content of stories and traits defining characters.
Perhaps this was only a matter of time: speaking to Screen Daily, Hansen-Løve announced two titles that are in varying states of development, and one of which is “inspired partly” by her husband. (Read: not necessarily some exposé,...

The Berlin International Film Festival is now underway, and one of the movies we're eager to see is Mia Hansen-Løve's latest, "L'avenir (Things To Come)." The filmmaker has a compelling storytelling voice, her last feature "Eden" is a Playlist fave, and now we have a reason to brush up on our French, as the first international trailer has landed (via Cinemaldito). Read More: Interview: Mia Hanson-Løve Talks 'Eden,' Daft Punk, French Disco And Her Next Film 'The Future' Starring Isabelle Huppert, André Marcon, Roman Kolinka, Edith Scob and Sarah Le Picard, the film follows a fifty-year-old philosophy teacher grappling with the death of her mother, getting fired from her job, and a husband who is cheating on her. Here's the official synopsis from Berlin. Nathalie teaches philosophy at a high school in Paris. She is passionate about her job and particularly enjoys passing on the pleasure of thinking.

After crafting one of the finest films of last year, it’s safe to say expectations are high for Mia Hansen-Løve‘s Things to Come, particularly considering she’s teaming with one of the finest actresses in cinema, Isabelle Huppert. Shifting away from capturing youth in Eden, her latest drama follows a woman who must figure out life after her husband leaves.
Set to premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival this weekend, its first pair of clips have now arrived, each of which seem to have come from an early portion of the film — so if you’re concerned about getting spoiled, fear not. Ahead of our review, check out the clips below (and see one with subtitles here), along with new images and the official Berlin description for the film also starring André Marcon, Roman Kolinka, Edith Scob, and Sarah Le Picard.

Things to Come
Director: Mia Hansen-Løve
Writer: Mia Hansen-Løve
With four features under her belt, French director Mia Hansen-Løve has become a prolific auteur, following the success of titles such as The Father of My Children (2009), Goodbye First Love (2011) and Eden (2014). For her latest feature, she’s tapped Isabelle Huppert to star in Things to Come (formerly known as L’avenir), where in the prolific actress stars as Nathalie, a philosophy professor who has been married for years to a man in the same profession. One day, her husband announces his love for a younger woman and his plans to move in her with, while Nathalie’s mother dies in the same timeframe. Love’s intention, as indicated by the original title, was an ironic commentary about a woman forced to start a new, unexpected life while heading into her last decades. Of note, Huppert starred as Love’s mother...

In The Garden Of Garage: Hansen-Løve Recounts Brother’s Coming of Age During the Rise of House Music
Thanks to her brother Sven’s involvement in the popularization of French house music as a young DJ and club promoter throughout the 90s, director Mia Hansen-Løve grew up baptized in the propulsive wash of beats and samples that make up garage music. Her latest film, Eden, fictionalizes her brother’s Inside Llewyn Davis-esque music career with an authentic eye and ear for the electronic dance music scene as it metamorphosizes over the course of twenty rough and tumble years of spinning soulful dance tracks, snorting copious amounts of blow and trying desperately manage to both finances and romances.
Deeply personal in its portrayal of artistic passion and the intimate repercussions that come with banging one’s head against a metaphoric professional wall, Hansen-Løve’s film aches with nostalgia and heartbreak...

Each decade brought new forms of music and, as the tradition of chaperones died out, so [ Read More ]

Exclusive: Drama starring Isabelle Huppert due to shoot this June.
Les Films du Losange has taken on sales of Mia Hansen-Løve’s Things to Come (L’Avenir), starring Isabelle Huppert as a woman embarking on a new life after her husband leaves her for another woman.
“We’ll kick off sales at Cannes on the back of the script. The film is due to shoot in Paris in June,” said Les Films du Losange head of sales Agathe Valentin.
Huppert stars as Nathalie, a settled philosophy teacher who has been married for years to Heinz, with whom she has two grown-up children. They stay together out of habit and common intellectual pursuits – he also teaches philosophy — rather than for love.
But one day Heinz announces he has fallen for another woman and moves out. At the same time, Nathalie’s possessive, time-consuming mother passes away. As the summer holidays loom, Nathalie is staring...

The Future
Director: Mia Hansen-Løve // Writer: Mia Hansen-Løve
Actress turned director Mia Hansen-Løve (married to auteur Olivier Assayas) has quickly become one of the most notable contemporary French directors, her works often focused on the cruel yet endearing experiences of youth. Her 2009 sophomore film The Father of My Children first earned her international acclaim, and Hansen-Love often uses autobiographical elements in her work, including in her third film, 2011’s Goodbye First Love (review) and last year’s Eden (her is our sit-down with her), based on the life of her brother, a French DJ in the 1990’s wave of electro house music. Hansen-Løve announced that her next project would be The Future, concerning an older protagonist, a female professor of philosophy in her late fifties, to be played by none other than Isabelle Huppert. Oddly enough, Huppert starred as Hansen-Løve’s mother in Assayas’ 2000 film Les Destinees Sentimentales. We look...
