Where opening night features two stories of young women facing unwanted pregnancies in France in the 1960s (L\u2019\u00e9v\u00e9nement) and \u201970s (Annie col\u00e8re), Alice Diop\u2019s Saint Omer revisits the court case of a woman\u2019s infanticide.

Our classic this year comes with a twist. It is the 2021 adaptation of Balzac\u2019s Illusions perdues, which contrasts with the 2019 staging of Rameau\u2019s 1735 Les Indes galantes with urban dance forms taking center stage at the Bastille Opera, and the super 8 texture of the Ernaux family films.
