    The Unknown Girl

    THE UNKNOWN GIRL

    JEAN-PIERRE DARDENNE, LUC DARDENNE Belgium, 2016

    Injecting a dose of neo-noir into melodrama, the Dardenne brothers reinvigorate their signature moral intrigue with a daring detective film. Starring Adèle Haenel in an impressive lead performance, The Unknown Girl is never squeamish about probing French attitudes to race and immigration.

    House of Tolerance

    HOUSE OF TOLERANCE

    BERTRAND BONELLO France, 2011

    Set in the dying days of the 19th-century, this crepuscular masterwork from Bertrand Bonello explores the transactional margins of sexuality. With a stellar ensemble that includes Adèle Haenel, House of Tolerance occupies a hermetic netherworld caught between a haunted past and an uncertain future.

    DEERSKIN

    QUENTIN DUPIEUX France, 2019

    Quentin Dupieux’s deadpan comedy on the narcissistic nature of filmmaking is luridly obsessed with objects, from suede jackets to mirrors and cameras. Sharing an easy chemistry on screen, Jean Dujardin and Adèle Haenel lend charm and poignancy to this profoundly funny, fantastical fable.

    Nocturama

    NOCTURAMA

    BERTRAND BONELLO France, 2016

    A tour-de-force provocation by French auteur Bertrand Bonello, Nocturama imagines a teenage act of terrorism in Paris freed from ideology and motivation. The first half proceeds like a thriller, the second, like a siege film set in a luxe department store.. A seductive portrait of young, lost souls.
