“When I write for others, I really put myself at the service of their ideas, their imagination, their film. It’s another job. So in no way does it affect me as a director.”

    THE FIVE DEVILS

    LÉA MYSIUS France, 2022

    Wild with the elemental powers of water, fire, and air, Léa Mysius’s witchy second feature inventively folds a queer love story—featuring a magnetic Adèle Exarchopoulos—in a girl’s time-hopping coming-of-age fantasy. Magic is afoot in this genre-defying family tale of desire, prejudice, and revenge.

    JACQUES AUDIARD France, 2021

    Jacques Audiard’s luminous tale of friendship, sex, and romance reunites co-screenwriter Céline Sciamma with her Portrait of a Lady on Fire star Noémie Merlant. Shot in silky black-and-white and set in a diverse area of Paris, this is a tender and hyper-contemporary ode to the city of love.
