Saint Omer

★★★★★ “It is vital film-making.” – The Guardian

★★★★★ “Extraordinary” – Little White Lies

“Breathtakingly, soul-shakingly intelligent, beautiful, empathetic, this one gets a 10 out of 10.” – Awards Daily

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 follows a young novelist who 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.
