Saint Omer
122 mins
in French with EN subtitles
FRA | 2022 | dir. Alice Diop, with Kayije Kagame, Guslagie Malanda, Valérie Dréville
Acclaimed at the Venice Film Festival where it won the Silver Lion, the Best Debut Film Award (Luigi De Laurentiis Award) and the Edipo Re Award, documentarian Alice Diop’s stunning narrative debut Saint Omer is France’s entry at the 2023 Academy Awards. A young novelist confronts personal trauma as she observes the trial of a woman accused of infanticide. Loosely inspired by a real court case where a mother abandoned her baby to the rising tides on a beach; Saint Omer is a finely observed drama which stylishly probes the unspeakable.
