Plot summaryIt is Ariane's birthday and she finds herself alone in her quiet home. Everything is ready for a party but the guests are not there. She gets in her car and sets off for the city. At the harbour bridge she meets a young man Raphaël on a scooter who takes her to a seaside restaurant run by Denis. Raphaël abandons her for his girlfriend Lola, so she calls a taxi to go back to where she had left her car but it has been towed away. After going to an ATM to get money to pay the taxi driver she is robbed. She gets back to the beach restaurant and gets to know customer Jacques and the watchman Marcial; she is taken on to work at the café. The day sees further adventures... but with a happy ending. ReceptionRonnie Scheib of Variety had this to say: "While 'Ariane’s Thread' evokes the poetic realism of the 1930s French populist cinema of Feydeau, Prevert, Vigo and early Renoir, it does so less in terms of an organic visual style and more in terms of its expression of a shared ethos."[2] Jerome Cabanel, writing for The Hollywood Reporter, considered "Yet while there aren’t too many rewards offered at the end of the maze [], there’s something pleasurable in soaking in the warm atmosphere and touching characters, with the director’s trusty cast indulging in a series of easygoing conversations and playful bickering []."[3] References
