Fifteen-year-old Adèle dreams of finding the love of her life. When she meets Thomas, a charming stranger who falls for her instantly, her dream seems to have come true. However, the serenity of their relationship could be undermined by Adèle’s erotic fantasies about a mysterious blue-haired girl she met on the street. And when the beautiful, sensual girl reappears and approaches her, an overwhelming passion erupts, causing chaos…
Abdellatif Kechiche is one of the most influential figures in contemporary European cinema. A Franco-Tunisian director, screenwriter and actor, winner of the Palme d’Or at Cannes and a point of reference for a generation of filmmakers, Kechiche has built a cinematic style that delves into social dynamics and human relationships, whilst also questioning the present through an authorial gaze that explores bodies and obsessions. The BIF&ST presents a retrospective of seven of the director’s films: Tutta colpa di Voltaire (2000), La schivata (2003), Cous Cous (2007), Venere nera (2010), La vita di Adele (2013), Mektoub, my love – Canto uno (2017) and the Italian premiere of Mektoub, my love – Canto due (2025), the highly anticipated new chapter in Kechiche’s magnum opus, which takes us back to the Mediterranean south of France amidst the hopes and turmoil of youth in the 1990s.
