Water Lilies
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Céline Sciamma
2007 / 85min / 35mm
Winner of the coveted Prix Louis-Delluc for Best First Feature, Sciamma’s exquisitely stylized debut takes place largely inside an indoor swimming pool complex in the Paris suburbs, observing the interlocking relationships of a trio of 15-year-old girls—free-spirited Floriane (Adèle Haenel), timid Marie (Pailine Acquart), and the preternaturally poised Anne (Louise Blachère)—who frequent its waters, each now negotiating the first stirrings of sexual desire.
“Some movies wake a part of you up. Water Lilies will do that. It has everything I love. Moody score. Moodier girls. Lesbians. Lust turning cruel. Synchronized swimming.” —Micaela Durand
Introduction by filmmaker Micaela Durand on Sunday, December 15th.
