Paris Memories

France 2022 | 105 minutes | French | Hebrew subtitles

Mia survived a terrorist attack in a Paris restaurant. In the following weeks, everything seems normal, but Mia's emotional world is crumbling. She doesn't recall the events of the evening, what happened in the minutes before the attack, and how she was saved. Her attempts to rearrange the story, to recall what happened, and to get to know her fellow survivors become the first steps in the healing process. Director Alice Winocour, whose brother is a Bataclan survivor, translates the survival and trauma experiences into a candid and heartfelt drama. There are some particularly severe and intense depictions here from the perspective of the heroine, of the attack – in an effective scene that should come with a trigger warning, and above all, there is a focus on the pain and sorrow, and the tentative way in which it is possible to return to life. This all comes together in Virginie Efira's exceptional performance.
