Life Is a Long Quiet River

It would seem unlikely that the paths of the proper, prosperous Groseille family and the grubby, grifting Le Quesnoy clan would ever have reason to intersect. But, after a pediatric nurse owned up to having spitefully swapped their newborns 12 years earlier, their fates were bound to collide in stunning fashion. Social satire that provided a critical and popular hit debut for director Étienne Chatiliez stars Benoît Magimel, Hélène Vincent, André Wilms, Daniel Gélin. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French Dolby Digital mono; Subtitles: English; featurettes. In French with English subtitles. C/Rtg: NR
