A film shoot goes catastrophically wrong in this playful mockumentary from France’s preeminent enfant terrible, Gaspar Noé. Starring a magnificently game duo in Béatrice Dalle and Charlotte Gainsbourg, Lux Æterna is a formally dazzling, mid-length rumination on witchcraft and the filmmaking process.

The winds of change sweep the streets of Paris at a time both intimidating and liberating for a mother and her teenage children. Charlotte Gainsbourg is at her most enchanting in this drama, which follows in the footsteps of the great Éric Rohmer by tenderly and precisely observing human existence.
