Celebrated writer-director Mia Hansen-Løve (Things to Come, Father of My Children) makes a wise and wistful return with One Fine Morning, a profoundly moving portrayal of love, loss and contemporary womanhood, featuring a career-best performance from Léa Seydoux.

Set in Paris, Seydoux plays Sandra – a young, widowed mother who juggles her job as a translator with caring both for her young daughter and elderly father. Sandra’s life is further complicated when she embarks on a passionate affair with Clement, an old friend in an unhappy marriage.

Also starring Melvil Poupaud and Pascal Gregory, this Cannes Film Festival award-winner is a gently poignant romantic drama shot through with the director’s characteristically charming touch.

RETURN TO SEOUL [RETOUR À SÉOUL] (2022) | Blu-ray & DVD | 11 September 2023

Davy Chou’s Return to Seoul, which premiered in the Un Certain Regard section of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, is an unpredictable and refreshingly authentic story of a young woman’s search for identity, and of the ever-shifting relationships that shape it.

Freddie (Park Ji-Min) was adopted when she was very young, born in South Korea and raised in France. She’s magnetic, spirited and hard to pin down; never in one place, or with one person, for long enough to get attached. At 25 years old, Freddie makes an impulsive decision to visit Seoul for the first time since her adoption, in an attempt to reconnect with her biological parents and the culture she had to leave behind.

Featuring a revelatory performance from newcomer Park Ji-Min, this bittersweet journey of self-discovery sees Freddie travel from South Korea's vibrant, neon-soaked capital to its tranquil port cities, in search of a better understanding of her own identity, culture and home.

BLU-RAY & DVD SPECIAL FEATURES:
