Frantz (2016)



In the aftermath of WWI, a young German who grieves the death of her fiancé in France meets a mysterious Frenchman who visits the fiancé's grave to lay flowers.

A subtle, heart-wrenching tale in beautiful black-and-white imagery straightforwardly dissects the xenophobic bias and its impact on human society.

Yves Saint Laurent (2014)



A look at the life of French designer Yves Saint Laurent from the beginning of his career in 1958 when he met his lover and business partner, Pierre Berge.

Tasteful and accomplished attempt to portrait the great fashion designer in all his complexity is mostly successful, thanks also to Pierre Ninney's excellent performance and a good supporting cast.

L'Odyssée (2016)



Highly influential and a fearlessly ambitious pioneer, innovator, filmmaker, researcher and conservationist, Jacques-Yves Cousteau's aquatic adventure covers roughly thirty years of an inarguably rich in achievements life.

Well-produced biopic with some great nature and underwater cinematography and a competent cast never quite captures Jacques-Yves Cousteau's love and enthusiasm for oceans and nature.
