Mikhaël Hers follows Amanda with another contemplative, delicate film, this time set in 1980s Paris, beginning on the day of President Mitterrand's election. Newly single mother Elisabeth (a magnetic Charlotte Gainsbourg) is left to support her two teenage children, Mathias (Quito Rayon Richter) and Judith (Megan Northam). Securing a job on her favorite late-night radio show hosted by Vanda Dorval (Emmanuelle Béart), she encounters struggling teenager Talulah (Noée Abita), who she offers a place to stay. In this new set-up, a new dynamic takes hold as each will experience compassion, determination and love, and an abiding bond between them.

Press Quotes

Seeing [Gainsbourg's character] find her voice within this realm--literally and metaphorically--is an understated delight.

     —Christy Lemire, RogerEbert.com

The warm performance by the ageless Ms. Gainsbourg and the soulfulness of the two younger leads make for an absorbing two hours.

     —Kyle Smith , Wall Street Journal

An inviting, paradigmatic story of female self-discovery and empowerment.

     —Manohla Dargis , New York Times

With its stunning production design and nostalgic but stylish '80s costumes, The Passengers of the Night is a gorgeous invitation to slow down and take it all in before life passes by.
