BLOODY MILK (Petit Paysan)
Drama | Los Angeles Premiere
Followed by a discussion with writer/director Hubert Charuel and actor Isabelle Candelier
First-time helmer Hubert Charuel weaves a compelling, unconventional rural thriller out of the tale of a taciturn farmer and his cows. Swann Arlaud delivers a riveting performance as Pierre, whose quiet, repetitive life revolves around meticulously caring for the dairy farm he’s taken over from his parents. He calls each cow by name, lovingly delivers their calves with his own hands and even invites one of them to share his home. They occupy every inch of his psyche and his life… Until a deadly bovine epidemic rears its ugly head and strikes one of his own. Seething with suspense and heart-felt tragedy, Bloody Milk is an astute, understated tale told simply and with great eloquence. It premiered as part of the International Critics’ Week at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival. It was nominated for eight Cesars and won three of them: Best Actor (Swann Arlaud), Best Supporting Actress (Sara Giraudeau) and Best First Feature.

LUNA
Drama | North American Premiere
(Followed by a discussion with writer/director Elsa Diringer)
Sixteen-year-old Luna just earned her vocational training certificate in horticulture. She works on a farm near Montpellier and hangs out with Ruben. She’s head-over-heels in love with him.

A few weeks later, Alex reappears in Luna’s life… and fate takes another turn. Elsa Diringer’s sensitive first feature delves into the question of violence in our culture and individual responsibility in the face of heinous collective behavior.

THE PARTY’S OVER (La Fête est finie)
Drama | North American Premiere
(Followed by a discussion with writer/director Marie Garel-Weiss)
Celeste and Silhem are admitted to a rehab facility on the same day. Addicted to drugs, the otherwise-normal teenage girls form an indelible bond. That friendship becomes as much their salvation as an obstacle, when they’re thrown out of the facility for breaking the rules and are on their own, desperately struggling to stay clean and sober. That’s when the real battle begins — their struggle for freedom and rebirth. The semi-autobiographical film marks Marie Garel-Weiss’ feature directorial debut and was honored with the Golden Salamander at the 2017 Sarlat Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Saint-Jean-de-Luz Film Festival, where the film’s two radiant leads, Zita Hanrot and Clemence Boisnard, deservedly shared the festival’s Best Actress Award.

MONTPARNASSE BIENVENÜE (Jeune Femme)
Drama, Comedy | Los Angeles Premiere
Followed by a discussion with composer Julie Roué
Laetitia Dosch is a freewheeling dynamo as Paula, the impulsive, maddening, headstrong, endearing heroine of Montparnasse Bienvenüe, writer/director Léonor Serraille’s unflinching, picaresque character study of a “young woman” of our times. Paula no sooner arrives in Paris, when she’s immediately dumped by her long-term, off-screen lover — a state she is loath to accept. Now virtually homeless, she wanders the streets of the city, crashing with friends, aimlessly adrift, furiously improvising from one moment to the next… and utterly determined to survive.
