Souleymane’s Story is an urgent, energetic drama that follows a Guinean immigrant through the streets of Paris.
Nelly has just lost her grandmother and is helping her parents clean out her mother’s childhood home, and meets a girl her same age building a tree house.
Céline Sciamma’s Petite Maman follows a young girl exploring her mother’s childhood home and finding another girl in the surrounding woods.
Petite Maman, all in all, shows Sciamma at her most profound and mature. Grab a tissue and prepare your heart if you’re going to see this.
