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.

In Justine Triet’s Sibyl—starring Gaspard Ulliel, Virginie Efira and Sandra Hüller—chaos equates to delight and the ethically wrong is exhilarating. Psychoanalysis and cinema come together in a thrillingly erotic and perilous game blurring fiction and reality, dizzyingly escaping any classification.
