Biography

Anne Teyssèdre is a French actress. She began her career in theatre at the Cours Simon, then in film in the leading role of Véronique ou l'Été de Mes Treize Ans (1975). She entered the Conservatoire National d'Art Dramatique in Michel Bouquet's class, and pursued an interesting and atypical career that spanned theatre, television, commercial cinema and auteur cinema. She was the heroine of Éric Rohmer's Conte de Printemps (1990) and one of the main characters in several films and television series. Anne Teyssèdre eventually gave up her acting career for health reasons and turned to writing. She published two essays on the work of Éric Rohmer and short stories in collective works, film reviews, literary reviews, among others.

I Want to Go Home
4.8

Joey Wellman, an American cartoonist from Cleveland now largely forgotten at home, visits France with his partner Lena to attend an exhibition in Paris about the comic strip (bande dessinée) which features his work. He also hopes to be reconciled with his daughter Elsie who has been a student in Paris for two years, in flight from the American culture of which she sees her father as a typical example. Elsie is naively infatuated with French literature, and is trying to secure an introduction to the brilliant university professor Christian Gauthier, an expert on Flaubert but also an enthusiast for comic books. The meeting of father and daughter goes badly, but Elsie is persuaded to join Joey and Lena for the weekend at the country house of Gauthier's mother, Isabelle. During a comic-themed masquerade party, all of the characters are made to reconsider their present and past relationships.
