Huppert </b>(<i>The Piano Teacher</i>), the official selection of
Switzerland for the 82nd Academy Awards<b>®</b>. This carefully-balanced
environmental drama brings to life the tangible effects of industrialization
and pollution through the experience of one family that must contend with a superhighway
being built at their front door. The film enjoyed its world premiere in <i>Semaine
de la Critique</i> at the Cannes Film Festival, followed by a U.S.
premiere at <i>New Directors/New Films</i> in 2009 at MoMA in New
York. </span></span><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span><b><i>HOME</i></b> is the tale of a
boisterous, middle class family that enjoys everyday life in a simple house
that lies on a lush, grassy field next to an abandoned highway. With no
neighbors or cars for miles, they revel in their happy, earthy existence
— and each other’s company. Michel (Olivier Gourmet) gets to
work by hopping in his car on the other side of the empty stretch of road that
seems to lead nowhere. Marthe (Isabelle Huppert) maintains an exuberant
household defined by water-fights, sunning in the grass, communal bathing and other
happy antics. Life is good — or at least pleasantly average. </span><br>
<br>
<span class=apple-style-span>When construction on the desolate highway suddenly
begins, the danger and incessant whizzing of thousands of cars overpowers the
family’s every waking moment, and the dynamic changes. Mom refuses
to leave the only home she can imagine, Dad begins to crack under the pressure
of keeping the family safe and healthy — and the kids descend into
paranoia over the threat of lead and carbon monoxide poisoning that lurks in
the smoggy air. As much an ode to the sweetness of family life as a
gnawing commentary on the ever-receding space on earth for natural living,
Director Ursula Meier delivers a sensual and nuanced work that bubbles with
environmental consciousness.</span><br>
