parallel strand dedicated to first and second films, follows the official selection’s lead in announcing an expanded lineup after taking a year off.
Leyla Bouzid’s “A Tale of Love and Desire” will close the edition and will also be part of the Special Screenings section, which will also feature Vincent Le Port’s “Bruno Reidal, Confessions of a Murderer,” inspired by a real case dating back to 1905; Samuel Theis’s “Petite Nature,” a poignant drama about a child growing up in a broken home; and popular actor-turned-helmer Sandrine Kiberlain’s debut “A Radiant Girl.
“We’re proud to have put forward so many filmmakers on the international scene over the years,” he added. “This year’s official selection underscores this with the new films by Julia Ducournau and Hafsia Herzi , who had their feature debuts, ‘Raw’ and ‘You Deserve Love,’ respectively, play at Critics’ Week in recent years.”
“The competition is very international and showcases films with many different styles and topics. Many films tackle relationships, friendships, family bonds — especially mothers with their children, loved ones we lost, or fighting to get back into our lives,” said Tesson. “Sandrine Kiberlain’s film is necessary in today’s climate, and she’s tackling an important topic in a subtle and intelligent way. It’s a masterful directorial debut,” Tesson said.
