La Venue de l&rsquo;Avenir (Colors of Time)&nbsp;(2025, France)By C&eacute;dric Klapisch with Suzanne Lindon, Abraham Wapler, Vincent Macaigne,&nbsp;124 minutes&nbsp;Brought together by the unexpected inheritance of an abandoned house in rural Normandy, four cousins discover they share a mysterious family history. In 1895, their ancestor Ad&egrave;le, then aged 21, leaves her hometown to search for her mother in Paris. She discovers a city on the cusp of modernity, bustling with new-found avant-garde creativity, with the rise of photography and the birth of <a fr-original-style="" href="https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=Impressionist+painting+period+drama&cId=97970dd5-1bc7-40a3-a0a9-a8a7551020ab&iId=a3c41d37-ca0a-45de-a0c2-ac10c3a4c2c4" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Impressionist painting</a>. As her descendants retrace her steps, they unravel Ad&egrave;le&#39;s surprising past. The two timelines of 1895 and 2024 intertwine and collide, confronting the cousins&rsquo; contemporary attitudes with life in late 19th century Paris, leaving everyone&rsquo;s future forever changed.&nbsp; SPECIAL POST-SCREENING EVENT: A CONVERSATION WITH ANDREW ESCHELBACHER, DEPUTY DIRECTOR AND HEAD OF ART AND EXHIBITIONS AT THE PORTLAND MUSEUM OF ARTThe screening will be followed by a conversation with Andrew Eschelbacher, Deputy Director and Head of Art and Exhibitions at the Portland Museum of Art. Inspired by the film&rsquo;s exploration of art, time, and the ways we see the past through the present, Andrew will draw on works from the Museum&rsquo;s collection to lead us through a fascinating look at how art evolves&mdash;and how our understanding of it changes along the way. It&rsquo;s a chance to see the film through a new lens&mdash;and to discover connections between the story on screen and the art hanging on the walls of Maine&rsquo;s premier art museum. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" fr-original-style="" id="isPasted" style="border-collapse: collapse; empty-cells: show; border-width: medium; border-style: none; border-color: currentcolor; border-image: none; max-width: 100%; width: 100%; box-sizing: inherit;"><tbody fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><tr fr-original-style="" style="box-sizing: inherit;"><td fr-original-style="" style="min-width: 5px; box-sizing: inherit; user-select: text; border: 1px solid rgb(221, 221, 221);" valign="top"> </td></tr></tbody></table>
