Our take

French talent Louis Séguin made his second foray into short-length filmmaking with this Paris-set tale of a modern bromance. Exploring everyday life as a local while conveying the feelings of rebounding after a split, Saint-Jacques Gay-Lussac is a low-key ode to the emotional turbulence of youth.
