The film Irène, directed by Ivan Calbérac, highlights Cécile de France in the role of Irène, a thirty-something Parisian with a  good work, surrounded by faithful friends but who is looking for a sincere love. After a series of failed attempts, Irène crosses the path of François, a worker who has come to refresh his apartment. Little by little, what seemed a simple agreement of convenience turns into a possible authentic bond, releasing in her the hope of a true love.

actually, the film establishes a subtle contrast between the airy modernity of Paris and the inner fragility of Irene. The atmosphere oscillates between daytime urban elegance and the intimacy of apartments with soft and subdued colors. In terms of calibration, the light feel almost airy, filtered like a delicate veil on the faces, while the interiors reveal muted textures inviting the eye to linger over the nuance, the sigh, the silence. The image post-production make each shot seems to breathe the desire for delicacy: the visual rhythm marries the hesitations of the heart, Irene’s hesitations between desire, doubt and hope, revealing the vulnerability and softness of her aspirations.
