Ponette

1h 37m • Drama • 1996

AroView: Staying at her Aunt’s provincial cottage after the accidental death of her mother, a four-year-old girl comes to terms with death, while having to rationalise the conflicting advice of relatives and other children.

In spite of a slight narrative, the remarkable performance from four-year-old Victoire Thivisol in an extremely demanding role (she’s hardly off screen) make this an extraordinary and memorable experience.
