Léa Mysius | France | 2022 | 95m | French with English subtitles
with Adèle Exarchopoulos, Sally Dramé, Swala Emati, Moustapha Mbengue

Eight-year-old Vicky (newcomer Sally Dramé) has a mysterious gift: she can recreate any scent she comes across, even that of her beloved mother Joanne (Palme d’Or winner Adèle Exarchopoulos).

When Vicky’s estranged aunt suddenly returns to their mountain town, the invocation of her fragrance plunges the young girl back in time to unravel the mystery of Joanne’s fiery past with her now sister-in-law.

The acclaimed breakout from Léa Mysius (screenwriter for Claire Denis and Jacques Audiard), The Five Devils forges a witchy and wildly imaginative fable out of family secrets and queer romance.

"Part queer love story, part supernatural psychodrama, the uncanny second feature by Léa Mysius." -Beatrice Loayza, New York Times (Critic's Pick)

"Critic’s Pick! An elemental queer love story." -Sophie Monks Kaufman, IndieWire

Best Picture (Next Wave Competition) - Fantastic Fest
