Les femmes au balcon, that's Nicole, Ruby and Élise in their flat in Marseille. Amid a heatwave, they fantasise about their handsome neighbour across the street from their balcony. Until a drink at his place late at night gets out of hand.

Céline Sciamma directed Noémie Merlant in the enchanting Portrait de la jeune fille en feu. Now it is Merlant who directs and Céline Sciamma who co-wrote the screenplay. Les Femmes au balcon takes a bold look at male violence and female freedom. Relaxed, unpredictable and exciting. A true horror gore comedy (wink to Tarantino) that mixes cinematic genres and shakes up French cinema. Presented during a midnight screening at the Cannes Film Festival in 2024.

DIRECTION: NOEMIE MERLANT; GENRE: FICTION FILM; WITH: SANDA CODREANU, SOUHEILA YACOUB, NOEMIE MERLANT; FRANCE; 2024; 1H43; FRENCH SPOKEN, DUTCH SUBTITLES
