The Five Devils

Eight-year-old Vicky (newcomer Sally Dramé) has a mysterious gift: she can recreate any scent she comes across, even that of her beloved mother Joanne (Palme d’Or winner Adèle Exarchopoulos).

When Vicky’s estranged aunt suddenly returns to their mountain town, the invocation of her fragrance plunges the young girl back in time to unravel the mystery of Joanne’s fiery past with her now sister-in-law.

The acclaimed breakout from filmmaker Léa Mysius (screenwriter for Claire Denis and Jacques Audiard), THE FIVE DEVILS forges a witchy and wildly imaginative fable out of family secrets and queer romance.

““Part queer love story, part supernatural psychodrama, the uncanny second feature by Léa Mysius” (NY Times)

“A witchy thriller… Part time travel, part romance, and all heart” (Deadline)

“An elemental queer love story” (IndieWire)

““Stunning… Adèle Exarchopoulos is a force of nature.” (The Playlist)

“The film’s magical realism heightens its otherwise conventional contours and sharpens its otherworldly pleasures.” (Washington Post)
