Chicken with Plums is the story of a famous musician whose prized instrument has been ruined. Unable to replace his violin, he decides to die, and eight days later, he renders his soul, yet what seems like the end is really just the beginning. Under its romantic allure, this film is conceived as a thriller with flashbacks and flash forwards which shed light on Nasser’s personality and the reasons for his despair. Death is used as a springboard to talk about life.
“Captivating. A stylized world of romantic longing and artistic melancholy….. Mr. Amalric’s exquisitely soulful performance.” -A.O. Scott, THE NEW YORK TIMES
