Paul and Paulette Take a Bath

United Kingdom 2024 Fiction cor 109’

The Paul and Paulette’s chance meeting in a Parisian square sparks an unusual friendship between this young American photographer and the French girl, a relationship that grows around a dark game: reenacting scenes of notorious crimes from bygone eras in the places where they occurred. For Paul, the game is a way to get closer to Paulette. For Paulette, it’s a way to escape a painful breakup with her ex-girlfriend and process that trauma. As the recent past becomes more uncomfortable, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, they find surprising joy in the darkest corners of humanity.

Winner of the Audience Award in the Settimana Internazionale della Critica at the Venice International Film Festival.
