I saw this beautiful film when at the Venice Film Festival in 2015. I don't have a deep knowledge of French cinema, but I found the film moving and touching. The story of a severe judge who's heart is softened by a past love. This past love surprising reappears in his life and changes his life forever. Beautifully told, and amazingly wordy. And perhaps this is what surprised me. Despite the long scenes of dialogue, it was engaging and engrossing. I never felt like a word was wasted. This is the sign of good writing. And I was watching it in the original language with English subtitles. Would highly recommend it.
