LIFE IS A LONG QUIET RIVER

“Etienne Chatiliez’s stunningly original, provocative, and darkly comic work is one of the best French films of recent years.” -- Kevin Thomas, L.A. TIMES

With their immaculate children and perfect manners, the radiantly bourgeois Le Quesnoys are thrown together in absurd chaos with the grubby, disreputable Groseilles by an act of revenge as they discover their babies were switched at birth twelve years prior. An outrageously wicked comedy about class relations and family ties, this fast-paced satire from award-winning debut filmmaker Étienne Chatiliez became one of the most popular French cult comedies of its time.
