‘When Fall Is Coming’ review: François Ozon's charming family drama is a matter of life and death – San Sebastian Film Festival

That’s the ultimate conclusion of the prolific French film-maker François Ozon ’s new domestic drama, receiving its world premiere at the San Sebastian Film Festival this week, but delivered with such sly delicacy, such slippery grace — no, actually, such sweetness — that there is simply no arguing with it. She takes communion, delves in her vegetable garden, cooks good food for herself and others, goes on forest rambles to pick mushrooms, natters with Marie-Claude and looks forward to seeing her daughter Valerie ( Ludivine Sagnier) and grand-son Lucas , a boy of about 11 (Garlan Erlos).
