Trailer
Why watch this film?
Directed by Claus Drexel (of 'Affaire de famille'), 'Sous les étoiles de Paris' tells the story of Christine (Catherine Frot), a lonely homeless woman whose path crosses with that of little Suli (Mahamadou Yaffa) -- a black, immigrant child who got lost in the streets of Paris and is now alone there. From then on, a frantic search for his mother begins. It's a movie that should be watched with certain restrictions, since it falls into the old cliché of a white person saving someone from some minority (here, in this case, a black and immigrant child). It's problematic in itself. However, Drexel knows how to direct the drama in such a way as to dilute these problems and, mainly, make Frot's performance, one of the ladies of French cinema today, gain strength in scenes that show, just like a Parisian poem, her fearless willingness to help others. It could have been better, even more so if this cliché had been left aside with a more current and clever plot, but it should please those fans of French cinema.

Drama

Doi Boy
Sorn, an ethnic Shan sex worker, copes with his bitter reality in Chiang Mai, Thailand by imagining himself in his clients 'lives. He is drawn into a complex relationship with one client, an investigator probing a political activist, even as he tries to build a future of his own as a refugee far from home.

Elena Knows
Elene (Mercedes Morán) searches for the person responsible for her daughter Rita's sudden death. Unable to get answers that help her understand what happened, she takes on the investigation herself. Despite the progression of the Parkinson's disease she suffers from, she embarks on a train journey from the suburb to the capital, seeking help from an old friend of her daughter. This is where filmmaker Anahí Berneri (Alanis) makes room for Morán (Neruda) to have a true tour de force on screen, embracing the film for herself—a challenging responsibility that works. It's a drama with touches of a thriller that leaves nothing behind and, in the end, succeeds in bringing emotion and suspense in good measures.

How to Have Sex
Selected in the "Un Certain Regard" section at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, 'How to Have Sex' is the powerful debut from British filmmaker Molly Manning Walker, and on the surface, it might seem like just another coming-of-age movie. The plot follows a group of British teenagers who go on vacation to Greece, in what was supposed to be the best summer of their lives. However, the script (also written by Manning Walker) subtly brushes against horror conventions to explore and question the intricacies of sexual freedom and consent. It's the kind of film that leaves you thinking long after the credits have rolled.
