François Ozon’s “When Fall Is Coming is set for US theatrical premiere release by Film Forum on Friday, April 4.

Acclaimed French stage actress Hélène Vincent is Michelle, a kindly grandmother who nurtures her garden in a quiet Burgundy village, attends church, and sees her longtime friend, Marie-Claude. But don’t be fooled by the apparent tranquility – WHEN FALL IS COMING is another twisty drama from François Ozon, with a disdainful daughter (Ludivine Sagnier of Ozon’s SWIMMING POOL), wild poisonous mushrooms, and a son who’s recently out of prison stacking up against Michelle’s peaceful retirement.

The film will be featured in the upcoming Rendez-Vous with French Cinema festival, screening at Walter Reade Theater on Friday, March 7, 3:30 PM and Sunday, March 16, 5:45 PM. A limited number of press tickets are available to this screening.

WHEN FALL IS COMING had its world premiere at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival and went on to screen at the San Sebastian International Film Festival where it was awarded the Jury Prize for Best Screenplay and Best Supporting Performance (Pierre Lottin). Hélène Vincent was nominated for the 2025 César Award for Best Actress for her role.
