Why watch this film?
Based on the true story of transgender dancer Nora Monsecour, 'Girl' is a film nominated for a Golden Globe Foreign Film and multi-award winning at the Cannes Film Festival. The film has a very necessary discourse to the current world, about the complexities of the trans experience. Victor Polster, who plays the protagonist, is also an important revelation, with great sensitivity in his performance, with an elegance matched by the film's photography.

Close
Nominated for an Oscar for Best International Film, Close is a movie that overflows with emotion, sensitivity and truth. Directed by Lukas Dhont (Girl), the movie tells the story of a child who has an apparently homoaffective relationship with a classmate. Everything changes when they go to another school. Little by little, Leo (Eden Dambrine) begins to distance himself from Rémi (Gustav De Waele), fearful of his classmates' reaction to their relationship. That's where all the sensitivity of the movie lies, which speaks about maturity, grief and depression in a somewhat cold way at times, but which focuses on deepening the character of Dambrine and shedding light on what a pre-adolescent can feel. Dhont, who achieves great performances from his cast, once again shows the strength of his stories and how sensitivity is mandatory in his work as a director. Close is a movie that is uncomfortable, saddening, moving and conveys truth.
