Les Châteaux de Sable - 2015 - 7/10
AKA - Sand Castles

After Eléonore’s father dies, she inherits his home in Brittany, which she decides to sell for the money.
She does not drive, so she asks ex-boyfriend Samuel to take her, and help her over the weekend.
Samuel’s current girlfriend says she is OK with that arrangement, she trusts him.
Seasoned cinema watchers will recognize the plot of unresolved emotions.
And yet, this film is quite interesting.
Voiceover narrative weaves throughout, expressing character’s histories and inner thoughts.
A third character is the real estate agent, more complex than her bubbling energy.
Then there is Eléonore’s father, whom we see in flashbacks and in her own ghostly conversations.
Add a small parade of potential home buyers, good and bad, and the sum of parts add up to a excellent French drama.
