The oneiric world of director Bertrand Mandico (The Wild Boys) is fueled with overflowing female desire, erotic creatures and lavish landscapes, all scintillating with resplendent colors. A film-within-a-film set during the production of a fantasy movie is a delight for all the senses!

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.
