L'Adieu - The Farewell (The Farewell) est une comédie dramatique américaine sortie en 2019, écrite et réalisée par Lulu Wang. Le film suit une famille qui vient de découvrir qu’il restait peu de temps à vivre pour leur grand-mère. La famille décide alors de ne rien lui dire et d’organiser une réunion de famille avant sa mort.

Le film est basé en partie sur les expériences de vie de la réalisatrice Wang, qu'elle a raconté dans le cadre de son histoire radiophonique What Don't You Know, qui faisait partie d'un épisode de This American Life. Le film a été projeté dans la section US Dramatic Competition du Festival du Film de Sudance en 2019. Il a ensuite été diffusé aux États-Unis le 12 juillet 2019, par A24. Le film a été salué par les critiques, notamment pour le scénario et la réalisation de Wang, ainsi que pour les performances d'Awkwafina et de Zhao Shuzhen.

Synopsis

Lorsqu’ils apprennent que Nai Nai, leur grand-mère et mère tant aimée, est atteinte d’une maladie incurable, ses proches, selon la tradition chinoise, décident de lui cacher la vérité. Ils utilisent alors le mariage de son petit-fils comme prétexte à une réunion de famille pour partager tous ensemble ses derniers instants de bonheur. Pour sa petite fille, Billi, née en Chine mais élevée aux Etats-Unis, le mensonge est plus dur à respecter. Mais c’est aussi pour elle une chance de redécouvrir ses origines, et l’intensité des liens qui l’unissent à sa grand-mère.

Set in 1952 in Saigon, Vietnam, toward the end of the French war against the Democratic Republic of Vietnam (1945-1954), on one level The Quiet American is a love story about the triangle that develops between Thomas Fowler, a British journalist in his fifties; a young American idealist, supposedly an aid worker, named Alden Pyle; and Phuong, a Vietnamese woman. On another level it is also about the growing American involvement that led to the full-scale American war in Vietnam.

In 1961, the financially strapped author Pamela "P. L." Travers reluctantly travels from her home in London to Los Angeles to work with Walt Disney at the urging of her agent, Diarmuid Russell. Disney has pursued the film rights to her Mary Poppins stories for twenty years, having promised his daughters that he would produce a film based on them. Travers has steadfastly resisted Disney's efforts because she fears what he would do to her character. However, she has not written anything in a while and her book royalties have dwindled to nothing, so she risks losing her house. Still, Russell has to remind her that Disney has agreed to two major stipulations - no animation and unprecedented script approval - before she agrees to go.

Junon Vuillard is Abel Vuillard's wife, and the iron-willed matriarch of the Vuillard family. Junon held her family together through many tough times, and although her willpower helped the family survive and prosper, it also has left many bad feelings among her children. Junon is still a handsome woman, and though her husband (who owns a small fabric dying plant) has become obese and clearly aged, he retains a remarkable clarity, acceptance, tolerance, and unconditional love for his family, and it is clear that he and their love for each other is the lynchpin that holds an otherwise fragmented family together, albeit uneasily.
