France

Meet Dounia, a petite tough and brash mixed race teenager from the eastern Parisian suburbs. Restless, reckless and rebellious, she is obsessed with making of lot of money, the only way out of her dreary life in the projects and a gloomy future.

50 years ago French director Claude Lelouch made his classic A Man and A Woman which won the Golden Globe for best picture in the Foreign Language category. His newest film, Un+Une, is a modern variation on the same subject of the relationships between sexes so close to the director’s heart.

Winner of the Silver Bear at the last Berlinale, Things To Come is French director Mia Hansen-Love’s fifth film since 2007. In less than ten years she has proven a unique voice in the French cinema landscape, bringing her distinctive, moody fluidity and approach that often evoke Nouvelle Vague masters Eric Rohmer and Philippe Garrel.
