Claude Miller: A Secret
Special Screening and Post-film Q&A with Director Claude Miller
The discovery of a deep family secret and and a passionate story, as seen through the eyes of Francois, an only child who invents an imaginary brother and imagines his parents’ past. The day he reaches 15, a family friend reveals an upsetting truth to the young Francois, but one that will make him stronger.
“Telescoping the considerable spiral of events in Grimbert’s prize-winning tome into a sleek, cogent mosaic of brief scenes, Miller is in top form.
—Variety
“The comfort we get from the cold raw truths—death and loss and longing—is that life itself is capable of small beauties. Grimbert captures this with style, depth and grace. Memory is a stunning book which simultaneously manages to widen our sense of history and story-telling.”
—Colum McCann, author of Zoli and Dancer
