Mademoiselle Chambon may be a small film about inconsequential people, but the situations and emotions it stirs up are universally profound Go to Full Review

3/5
An impossible romance that is expressed delicately and without recourse to more than mild erotica. Go to Full Review

Evasive and reticent. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
Jana Monji Age of the Geek 08/14/2021
3/5
This is a pensive French film about family and love and possible infidelity, doesn't rush to passion or indulge in Hollywood glamour, but proceeds at a leisurely pace, filled with looks and long silences. Go to Full Review

3/4
Brizé's direction is so confident and the performances so assured, it could almost have been a silent film. Go to Full Review

Claudio C @Claudio666 Dec 29 Mademoiselle Chambon (2009) The Farewell (12,162 – 29 Dec 2025 – Claudio Carvalho) In France, the mason Jean (Vincent Lindon) is happily married to Anne-Marie (Aure Atika) with the boy Jérémy (Arthur Le Houérou) and treats his father (Jean-Marc Thibault). When a Anne-Marie has an accident at work and needs to rest at home for a week. Jean needs to take Jérémy to school, where he meets the temporary teacher Véronique Chambon (Sandrine Kiberlain). Soon they befriend and fall in love with each other. "Mademoiselle Chambon" is a sensitive French movie, with the romance of the father of a student and the substitute teacher. Jean has a middle age crise and seduces the lonely Miss Chambon. The screenplay is nice and Vincent Lindon and the beautiful Sandrine Kiberlain show a perfect chemistry, despite their divorce in 2008. My vote is seven. Title (Brazil): "Mademoiselle Chambon" My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ See more Tiger A 06/09/2024 The attraction between two very different people is portrayed with such sensitive, subtle depth that it is almost impossible to resist its magic. The film is characterized by its calm but intense mood, which intensifies the tense contrast to the emotional surges between the two protagonists. See more 03/12/2016 It's basically Brief Encounter meets Un Coeur en Hiver, and the reason I learned French. A mesmerising star-crossed lovers story where everyone is grown up enough to do the right thing, however hard. See more 01/01/2013 Realistic, minimalistic romance that is both subtle and multilayered at the same time... See more 08/26/2012 Muy interesante historia sobre el amor y la pasión. Super recomendable. See more 08/04/2012 The marriage affair movie is usually too aggressive. This film actually builds the time slowly between the two, to make the romance seem more from the heart and less like a fool's pursuit. The stakes aren't any less low, and with that the story's handled exquisitely. See more Read all reviews
