- Synopsis
- Memory is a double-edged sword, and in Plus tard, tu comprendras, Amos Gitaï explores this truism in the most subtle and emotionally powerful manner. This most talented director has found a perfect subject for his increasingly spare and formal style, and the final result is masterly.
The film stars the venerable Jeanne Moreau in the role of Madame Gornick, an aged woman who prowls around her apartment listening to her television set. It is tuned to the Klaus Barbie trial of 1987, in which testimonies about arrests, incarcerations and deportations that took place during the Holocaust were recounted. Meanwhile, her son Victor is trying to assemble the bits and pieces of their family legacy through photographs, letters and memorabilia. It is a history of two conjoined families – French on his father's side and Jewish on his mother's. Victor really only knows the French side; the Jewish half is full of gaps.
The documents he discovers tell of the fate that befell his parents during the war, and he is quick to rush to judgment. But to his frustration, his mother refuses to share any memories with him. She has shuttered away her past, and – with a degree of enviable tranquility – lives her life free from malice.- Awards
