HER NAME IS SABINE
(Elle S'appelle Sabine)
(Sandrine Bonnaire, France 2007, 85’)

ICA CINEMA 1
Sunday 9 March 6PM
UK PREMIERE

Winner FIPRESCI award Cannes Film Festival 2007: "Let's say it out loud; 'Her Name is Sabine' is the most beautiful film that Cannes has given us this year."

An intelligent, moving and beautiful portrait of Sabine, a 38-year-old autistic woman, filmed by her sister, the famous French actress Sandrine Bonnaire. Through personal footage filmed over a period of 25 years, it is revealed that Sabine's growth and many talents were crushed by improper diagnosis and an inadequate care structure. After a tragic five-year stay in a psychiatric hospital, Sabine finally finds a new lease of life in a home with other young people living with similar mental and emotional illnesses.

One of the most esteemed French actresses of her generation, Sandrine Bonnaire made her name playing complex and often rebellious women for such directors as Claude Chabrol, Maurice Pialat, Agnès Varda, and Patrice Leconte. Her Name is Sabine is her directing debut.

  Presented in partnership with Institut Français
