Screen Daily review

LE RETOUR de/by CATHERINE CORSINI

Homecoming, by French director Catherine Corsini who won the 2021 Queer Palm for The Divide, follows Khédidja, who minds a wealthy Parisian family’s children for a summer in Corsica. She brings along her own two teenage daughters for whom it is an opportunity for them to go back to the island they left 15 years earlier, in tragic circumstances. While their mother grapples with her memories, the two girls indulge in all the summer temptations but questions surface about the family’s distant past on the island. The cast includes Virginie Ledoyen, Denis Podalydès, Aïssatou Diallo Sagna, Esther Gohourou, Suzy Bemba, Lomane de Dietrich, Cédric Appietto, Jean Michelangeli and Marie-Ange Geronimi.
