We're very happy to announce one more acquisition ahead of Cannes 2023: LET ME GO by Maxime Rappaz, which will world premiere as the opening film of the Cannes ACID sidebar.
French actress Jeanne Balibar stars in the lead role of Claudine, an elegant woman in her early 50s, who, although living a traditional life, pursues her desires in an unconventional way.
A regular on the Croisette and a well-known figure of French cinema, Balibar won the César Best Actress prize for her lead role in Cannes Un Certain Regard title “Barbara,” directed by Mathieu Amalric (2017), and has starred in award-winning films including “Cold War,” “Les Misérables” and “Memoria.” The film is shot by acclaimed DoP Benoît Dervaux, long-standing collaborator of the Dardenne brothers.

We're very happy to announce POWER ALLEY as our newest acquisition and its World Premiere in Cannes’ Critics’ Week. Set in Brazil, where abortion is illegal, the film is a suspense-filled drama tackling one of society’s most divisive issues.

The title, directed by Romi Tamburello and Federico Actis, follows the story of 17-year-old Vera who, in between school and volleyball classes, rents out an empty flat to teenagers looking for a place to have sex. What starts out as a way to make money develops into Vera’s discovery of her own sexual desires…
