“only dead things grow from regrets”

i had the pleasure of interviewing director Laurent Slama and lead actress Agathe Rousselle this week. will update this entry when it's uploaded!

the devotion to color and such detailed sound design captured the isolating environments and overwhelming moments of fear that agathe's character experienced as a hearing impaired person living in a bustling city. truly a lovely film about friendship and becoming more open as you find yourself. if you're a fan of films where people just walk and talk in pretty places™️ you will enjoy xx

I’m choosing to imagine this as a spiritual sequel to Titane where Alexia goes to therapy, and becomes obsessed with Claude Monet.
