French filmmaker Jacques Audiard‘s (DHEEPAN, A PROPHET) latest, PARIS, 13th DISTRICT (“Les Olympiades”) is a sexy, funny, romantic drama set in the very contemporary world of four Paris millennials who are friends – and sometimes lovers.
Sumptuously shot shot in black and white, Audiard’s very fresh take on the often moody relationship genre that is loosely based on the works of American cartoonist Adrian Tomine. Co-scripted by Auidiard, Céline Sciamma (PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE, the upcoming PETITE MAMAN) and Léa Mysius, the film stars stars Lucie Zhang, Makita Samba, Jehnny Beth and Noémie Merlant.

“It captures the restlessness of Millennial culture, and the actors are really great.” (NPR)
“For a little under two hours, you get to bask in the second-hand high of watching people figuring things out one person-to-person connection at a time.” (Rolling Stone)
“Audiard and his co-writers aren’t relishing in their characters’ anguish. Instead, Paris, 13th District builds toward swooningly romantic conclusions that defy expectations in their sweetness. It’s also, quite frankly, very hot.” (Thrillist)
“Mostly, Audiard leans assuredly on his actors, gently pushing each one toward a simple, ordinary, never-irrelevant question — what does your character want? — and coaxing forth an utterly unique answer.” (LA Times)
