Christophe Honoré returns to his timeless themes of family, mortality, and sexuality in a gay coming-of-age story imbued with breathtaking poignancy. As a teenager trying to make sense of grief, newcomer Paul Kircher is devastatingly good—and shares the screen with none other than Juliette Binoche.

A punk spirit pervades this endearingly DIY film, which gleefully blends animation, horror, and essay-film tropes into an unpredictable mix. Thrillingly inventive and bursting with hope, Coma addresses with poignancy and frankness the anxieties of a young generation facing an uncertain future.
