Die Flüchtigen

June 1940. Odile flees Paris with her two children. Lost in the countryside, they are rescued by a feral youth who leads them to an abandoned house. Cut off from the outside world, these four characters will come slowly to know each other and move inexorably beyond their limits. Exquisitely shot by DP Agnes Godard, Téchiné's masterful drama is a visually ravishing, emotionally compelling story of discovery and loss, a luminous portrait of impossible love featuring performances of extraordinary intensity from Emanuelle Béart and Gaspard Ulliel.
