2 Autumns, 3 Winters

Country: France
Director: Sebatien Betbeder

An unexpected funny tale of ennui and the transformative power of calamity, this French indie is a deliciously offbeat film from a promising young filmmaker. The plot goes like this: Best friends Arman and Benjamin are 30-something, single and going nowhere. When Arman is mugged it turns out to be a blessing as it brings Amélie into his life. But when Benjamin falls ill, all their lives become more entangled. Weaving together 16mm and HD, pop-cultural references and self-aware asides to camera, the film is a disarming and endearing portrait of life choices. (2013; 93 min)
