Broke, with nothing but a cat to her name and doors closing in her face, 31-year-old Paula (a delightful performance from Laetitia Dosch) is back in Paris after a break-up. Determined to make a new start with style and panache, Paula throws herself towards anything that could represent a future: new people, new jobs, and new lodgings, with a resilient and natural sense of humour. Winner of the Camera d’Ors at Cannes 2017, Jeune Femme is a riotously entertaining debut from Léonor Serraille, complemented by a punchy electronica score.
"Serraille’s film is one of the most satisfying and gently feminist character studies of recent times" ***** Little White Lies
"a refreshingly invigorating and unvarnished character study, thrumming with anxious life. Bravo!" ***** Mark Kermode, Observer
