After Him poster
4.7

When Camille's son was killed in a car accident, the devastating loss proved too much for emotionally fragile mother to bear. Now desperately clinging to any reminder of the son she held so close to her heart, Camille becomes increasingly fixated on Frank - the young man who was not only her child's best friend, but the one who was responsible for the tragic accident that took his life as well. At first, Frank is receptive to Camille's advances. It's not long, however, before the pair's scandalous relationship prompts many of Camille's friends to distance themselves from the increasingly unstable woman. Later, as Camille's obsession with Frank turns menacing, the relationship between grief-stricken mother and her guilt-ridden lover begins to take on ominous undertones.

Angelo, tyran de Padoue poster
NR

By choosing Victor Hugo for his first major theater production, Christophe Honoré surprises and intrigues. Angelo, tyrant of Padua surprises even more: little staged, this piece is almost incongruous. For him, it is a text whose clarity hides many secret doors and dark and ambiguous dungeons

Le Ciel de Nantes poster
NR

‘Le Ciel de Nantes’ is the film that Christophe Honoré never dared to make. Too painful, no doubt, since it depicts part of his family in a major showdown, where anger and settling of scores alternate with outpourings of tenderness and displays of love.
