HUMAN FLOWERS OF FLESH
OPENS AT METROGRAPH APRIL 14

Helena Wittmann draws inspiration from Claire Denis’ Beau Travail—star Denis Lavant himself appears in a cameo—while presenting an arresting new vision that’s every bit as singular and astonishing as that of her predecessor, following a woman, Ida (Angeliki Papoulia), whose fascination with a crew of French Foreign Legionnaires leads her to a voyage across the Mediterranean. A meditative, mysterious, questing film about inner enigmas, everyday rituals, and elemental forces, containing more than a few bravura moments that give the rare sense of cinema as an artform that is still being discovered.
