It was impossible to hold back the tears in front of his film, More than ever, which evokes the illness of a dying young woman and her last moments with her husband. The moments of happiness of the couple formed by Vicky Krieps and Gaspard Ulliel are filmed with remarkable modesty. We necessarily think of the injustice of death which will separate them, too young, without them having been able to finish their life together. The cheers that followed the screening vibrated with the intense emotion released by both the film and the reality.
