Synopsis
My Golden Days (2015) — watch online on iFILM. A French drama from Arnaud Desplechin, built around three long memories that anthropologist Paul Dédalus carries home from Tajikistan.
At the border he's stopped: his passport matches a dead man's. The film rewinds through three chapters. A troubled childhood with a mother who couldn't keep herself together. A clandestine student trip to Soviet Minsk, where Paul handed his identity and a forged Israeli visa to a Jewish refusenik trying to leave the USSR. And then Esther — Lou Roy-Lecollinet playing the girl who became the fixed point of everything that followed. Quentin Dolmaire plays the young Paul; Mathieu Amalric carries the older one, and the weight shows in every scene.
A prequel to Desplechin's 1996 film, though the connection is texture, not a prerequisite. Watch My Golden Days (2015) online on iFILM.
