Film Details

“Milla is a major achievement, a film that is at once as delicate as it is strong, a fitting testament to motherhood, to survival.” So says The NY Times about this new French movie that charts—in a series of quiet, naturalistic, oblique, often tender, poetic scenes—a young woman’s drift from carefree, penniless teen living with her boyfriend on the margins of society to poor working mother facing responsibility and compelled to engage with society. This sophomore feature has been likened to the works of Chantal Akerman and Barbara (Wanda) Loden. Subtitles. DCP. 128 min.
