Director: Mia Hansen-Løve Starring: Isabelle Huppert Release Date: TBC 2016 Her Eden is making a fair number of end-of-year best-of lists, and French director, Mia Hansen-Løve, will be back in 2016, too. The director, screenwriter and former actress is widely regarded in her native country, and Eden, about the French house-music scene of the early 90s, has helped her spread her talents a little wider. LAvenir (Things to Come or The Future, depending on which publication you read), slated for a March release in France, stars the legendary Isabelle Huppert (see her in Michael Hanekes The Piano Teacher for an example of her brilliance) as a 50-year-old philosophy professor who suffers a series of tragedies: her husband is unfaithful, she is fired, her mother dies. Hansen-Løve, who is married to French auteur Olivier Assayas, is one of the bright lights of French directing at the moment, and with someone like Huppert at the helm of her new picture, that can only continue. Expect to see this one at Cannes 2016.
