After TWO SOLD OUT SCREENINGS, Lost in Frenchlation is delivering a SPECIAL SCREENING of 'Divines' PRESENTED BY THE DIRECTOR herself, the Camera d'Or prize winning Houda Benyamina, on Friday 16th December!
The Plan
We'll meet at 8pm at the Cinema to enjoy a cocktail (4,50€) which will give us chance to meet and talk before Houda Benyamina (the director) speaks about the film at 9pm with the screening starting shortly after.
The Movie
'In a ghetto where religion and drug trafficking rub shoulders, Dounia has a lust for power and success. Supported by Maimouna, her best friend, she decides to follow in the footsteps of Rebecca, a respected dealer. Her encounter with Djigui, a young, disturbingly sensual dancer, throws her off course.'
- Official synopsis
"This tough, feisty French disaffected youth drama, crackles with attitude, anger and lust for life. Divines does something more than simply storyboarding the pressure-cooker frustrations of young people with nowhere to go (...) Fizzing with ideas, as difficult to pin down as its heroine, Divines keeps generating electricity long after the lights have gone down."
- Lee Marshall, Screendaily
'Divines' has undoubtedly been one of France's biggest box office hits of 2016. If you haven't seen it already - and even if you have - this is your chance to see the film in true Parisian style with English subtitles and unparalleled insight delivered by none-other than the young and acclaimed director!
Venue/Space
Studio 28 is located on 10 rue Tholozé, Montmartre 75018 Paris. Tickets to the movie will be available on the night, please arrive early to avoid disappointment. 9€ full price; 7,50€ for students and other concessions.
Note: Studio 28 does not accept cards - please bring cash!
Lost in Frenchlation’s mission is simple – we want to bring world-renown French cinema to the international community in Paris by showing French films with English subtitles, and we want to be a hub for the international community to get to know each other as well as native Parisians.
