Isabelle Huppert leads the cast of Ira Sachs’ new film Frankie, which has just got a release date for the 28th May. The film is brought to audiences by writer/director Ira Sachs (Little Men, Love is Strange, Keep the Lights On), his frequent collaborator Mauricio Zacharias (Little Men, Love is Strange, Trinta) and producers Saïd Ben Saïd (Bacurau, Lovers for a Day) Michel Merkt (It Must be Heaven, The Traitor, Photograph).
Unfolding over the course of a late summer’s day in the stunningly beautiful Portuguese town of Sintra, the wonderful new film from acclaimed director Ira Sachs follows a family that has gathered for a holiday organised by family matriarch Frankie (Isabelle Huppert). In this fairy tale setting, husbands and wives, parents and children, friends and lovers – all stirred by their romantic impulses – discover both the cracks between them but also unexpected depths of feeling.
Frankie had its world premiere at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival on May 20, 2019. We’ll hopefully have a full review as the release date approaches.
