Watch In the Name of My Daughter Online
Stream Movies in HD - Free TrialAll I knew in advance about In the Name of My Daughter was that it was based on a true story, just like another of French auteur Andre Techine’s recent films, The Girl On The Train. I’ve been a fan of his work for almost as long as I’ve been watching world cinema. Rendez-vous, My Favorite Season, Wild Reeds and Changing Times represent some of the best that French cinema has had to offer in the last 30 years.
It really says something about the strong fashion sense of the French (or the fact that I watched it from a screener instead of on the big screen) that I didn’t even realize this movie was set in the 70s until I glanced over at the press notes about 15 minutes in to verify an actor’s name. There just wasn’t anything to indicate the time period at all, I presumed it was a contemporary tale.
