Romane Bohringer’s Docu‑Fiction ‘Dites‑lui que je l’aime’ Rolls Out in French Cinemas

Bohringer folds her own maternal history into Clémentine Autain’s memoir to create a hybrid portrait of loss.

Romane Bohringer est venue rencontrer les spectateurs lors de l’avant-première de son film, "Dites-lui que je l’aime", au Renoir, à Aix-en-Provence.

Overview

  • The feature adapts Autain’s 2019 autobiographical book, first published by Grasset and later in paperback.
  • The film blends documentary and fiction, interweaving Autain’s account with Bohringer’s personal story.
  • Both women, now 52, reflect on mothers who died young: actress Dominique Laffin at 33 and Marguerite Bourry at 36.
  • Bohringer initially wrote a faithful adaptation before, at producers’ urging, inserting herself on screen.
  • The release is being promoted with in‑person events, including an avant‑première at Aix‑en‑Provence’s Renoir with distributor Michèle Halberstadt.
