Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
OPEN BODIES
Les corps ouverts
Synopsis
Rémi, 18, divides his time between high school, his family and the grocery store where he works. After a film casting for a movie, he starts a relationship with the director. Troubled by this first experience, Rémi multiplies the encounters with men and women, in search of himself.

Our take
No mere test run for the plots of his next few feature-length portraits of young queer people exploring different sexual experiences, Sébastien Lifshitz’s short Open Bodies is a major work in its own right. Yasmine Belmadi’s central performance pops as much as the cinematography’s intense colors.
