The Monday Night Film Series presents "COLOURS OF TIME", on March 23rd Monday at 7:30pm at Tilley Hall, Room 102 at UNB. 

Colours of Time (French: La Venue de l'avenir), a 2025 film by Cédric Klapisch, is a period drama/coming-of-age story that follows four modern-day distant cousins. Upon inheriting an abandoned house in rural Normandy, untouched since the 1940s, they discover artifacts that allow them to piece together the life of their ancestor, a mysterious woman named Adèle Vermillard.

The narrative interweaves two timelines: 1895 Paris, where a young Adèle navigates the bohemian art world and modernity, and 2024, where the cousins reflect on their own lives. The film suggests that while times change, fundamental human experiences remain constant, using the past to inform the present.

The film has been praised as an inventive, cleverly structured, and beautifully written thoroughly engaging story. Writer-director Klapisch makes his long-awaited Cannes debut with this delightful drama, which is enlivened by a terrific ensemble cast. It's a controlled film that connects past and present generations through shared experiences and family secrets, offering an authentic and vital look at life, love, and identity across two centuries.

With great warmth and a touch of humor, the French director delivers a playful meditation on the passage of time, family ties, and the legacy of art. Belen Prieto, Espinof 

A charming, visually rich time-travel fantasia elevated by Suzanne Lindon’s luminous performance and Klapisch’s playful mise-en-scène. Occasionally too whimsical, but irresistibly warm-hearted and culturally sharp.  Dionar Hidalgo, Algo Mas Que Cine 

This term, 15 limited release, independent foreign & Canadian films will be shown. Admission is $10/film, but a film society membership reduces admission cost to $7/film. The series is open to all. Memberships are available at Tilley 102 every Monday night.
