The Balconettes
The American French Film Festival
This gory horror-comedy, which competed for the Queer Palm at Cannes this year, is the second feature directed by actress Noémie Merlant (Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Tár), and is co-written by Merlant and Queer auteur Céline Sciamma (Portrait of a Lady on Fire, Tomboy).
As a heat wave brings a Marseille neighbourhood to the boil, three roommates gleefully meddle in the lives of their neighbours from their balcony. Until a late night drink turns into a bloody affair.
