Ma vie ma gueule

This Life of Mine

Quinzaine 2024 | Feature film | 99 min | France

World premiere

Barbie will open this year’s Quinzaine! This Barbie, played by Agnès Jaoui, is the protagonist of Sophie Fillières’ magnificent final film, This Life of Mine. A midlife crisis in three acts: a comedy, a tragedy and an epiphany, delivered wholeheartedly, with the breaks in tone and the high-wire dialogue that are the hallmark of Fillières’ cinema. The filmmaker has left us a self-portrait, as exquisite as it is intimate, to which Agnès Jaoui lends body and soul.

Director

Sophie Fillières

A directing graduate of La Fémis, Sophie Fillières made her mark from her first short film Des filles et des chiens (Jean-Vigo Prize 1992). She wrote and directed 7 feature films, selected at Berlin, Locarno and Toronto. She died in July 2023 shortly after wrapping her last film This Life of Mine, and asked her children, Agathe and Adam Bonitzer, to finish the film for her, alongside her close collaborators.
