Jean-Louis Livi

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.

Bringing a series of events into prismatic light with its Rashomon-effect structure, Anne Fontaine’s policier magnifies the repercussions of emotional entanglement in the workplace. Virginie Efira, Grégory Gadebois, and Omar Sy form an indomitable trifecta of French talent in this riveting film.
