Description:
WHEN THE SEA RISES (Winner 2005 César, Best First Film) is a sweet and genuinely off-beat romantic comedy written and directed by acclaimed French comedienne Yolande Moreau (AMELIE, THE HORSEMAN ON THE ROOF, VAGABOND) and cinematographer Gilles Porte. Showcasing outstanding performances by Moreau (Winner 2005 César, Best Actress) and newcomer Wim Willaert, WHEN THE SEA RISES tells the story of Irene (Moreau), a 45-year-old actress traveling from one small town to another with her one-woman show. Slyly funny in her masked onstage persona, Irene is a genial pro at touring alone, phoning home to her husband and child and sleeping in a new hotel each night. Things change when a scooter-driving vagabond named Dries (Willaert) fixes her stalled car. After accepting an invitation to her show, Dries soon appears at every stop on tour as her 'randomly selected' audience participant. What develops is a remarkably natural and tender affair between two true eccentrics, their exuberance and playfulness mixing with a mature, mutual longing. Moreau and Porte’s debut is a lovingly made and deeply personal film. It is also a bittersweet valentine to the intensely intimate (and cruelly transient) nature of love on the road.

- A gem
This film is both cinematically beautiful and a beautifully written story of an independent woman who is a talented actress and how she happens to meet someone who falls in love with her when she isn't looking. The film is multi-layered and can be appreciated from either the woman's or the man's point of view. It reminds me of the film ONCE which is just as special. A real gem for people who like independent films. A gripper from start to finish.
