Passionen (DVD)

OFFICIAL SELECTION 2020 – 73rd FESTIVAL DE CANNES

Erotically charged encounters between a female academic and a young married diplomat develop into a captivating and boundless passion.

With tattooed ballet dancer Sergei Polunin (portrayed in the documentaryDancer) and Laetitia Dosch (Jeune Femme) in the lead roles, this hot romantic drama becomes a sexually frank and very physical film experience with female passion in focus. Danielle Arbid, with titles such as Parisienne and Un homme perdu on her resume, is no stranger to portraying female sexuality on film.Passion is based on the best-selling novel Passion Simple by Annie Ernaux, who is also currently in the spotlight with the film L’èvénement). With nods to Catherine Breillat's Romance and Hiroshima Mon Amour (by Alain Resnais and Marguerite Duras),Passion enters into a worthy dialogue with the cinematic representation of female desire. DN
