Time To Leave (DVD)

One of Francois Ozon's most intimate and lyrical work, 'Time to Leave' features a moving performance from Melvil Poupaud as a 30 year-old man facing up to the reality of his own mortality. With his perfect life thrown into chaos by the shock diagnosis of a serious illness, fashion photographer Romain finds himself unable to share the news with his boyfriend or family, confiding instead only in his grandmother (affectingly played by screen legend Jeanne Moreau). But anger and denial give way to an acceptance of sorts when a chance encounter with a waitress (Valeria Bruni-Tedeschi) offers Romain a glimmer of hope and the unexpected chance to leave something of himself behind.
