Agnès de Sacy's 'La Fille d’un Grand Amour' Explores Love, Secrets, and Reconnection

The debut feature film draws from the filmmaker's personal family history, delving into themes of identity, reconciliation, and the complexities of love.

Agnès de Sacy's first feature film, 'La Fille d’un Grand Amour,' is inspired by her parents' real-life remarriage after decades of separation.
The story examines the rekindling of love between a divorced couple, portrayed by Isabelle Carré and François Damiens, through the lens of their daughter's student film project.
The film explores themes of identity and societal pressures, including the father's struggle with his sexuality in a less accepting era.
Set in the picturesque landscapes of the Pyrénées-Orientales, the film balances intimate family dynamics with broader, universal reflections on love and connection.
Critics praise the film for its emotional depth, nuanced performances, and its ability to transform a deeply personal story into a resonant cinematic experience.
