In Justine Triet’s Sibyl—starring Gaspard Ulliel, Virginie Efira and Sandra Hüller—chaos equates to delight and the ethically wrong is exhilarating. Psychoanalysis and cinema come together in a thrillingly erotic and perilous game blurring fiction and reality, dizzyingly escaping any classification.

The row between two unreasonable parents, played by Laetitia Dosch (Jeune Femme) and Vincent Macaigne, is set against the backdrop of the 2012 presidential elections. Justine Triet’s (Anatomy of a Fall) film, made of personal friction and political exhilaration, is a true French frenzy.
