Les enfants terribles
“A love story by Jean Cocteau”
Drama
Elisabeth and her brother Paul live isolated from much of the world after Paul is injured in a snowball fight. As a coping mechanism, the two conjure up a hermetic dream of their own making. Their relationship, however, isn't exactly wholesome. Jealousy and a malevolent undercurrent intrude on their fantasy when Elisabeth invites the strange Agathe to stay with them -- and Paul is immediately attracted to her.
VIBE
A suffocating, dreamlike descent into psychological obsession. This film feels like a fever dream, trapping you in a claustrophobic world where fantasy and reality blur, fueled by intense sibling dynamics and unspoken desires.
