Programmed February 2025
Directed by Axelle Ropert
One of contemporary French cinema’s most intriguing auteurs, Axelle Ropert employs an alchemical blend of narrative classicism and subtle expressionism to create nuanced explorations of human relationships and the division between the worlds of children and adults. Particularly concerned with the complexities of family bonds—a girl’s experience of her parent’s disintegrating marriage in Petite Solange , two brothers in love with the same woman in Miss and the Doctors —her films are distinguished by their elegant mise-en-scène, which suggests the mysterious, hidden emotional depths lurking beneath the surface of everyday life.
