Conann: A Daring Addition to the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs at Cannes
Cannes, France - The Quinzaine des Réalisateurs proudly presents "Conann," the latest installment in a bold trilogy of queer, erotic, and surreal films by acclaimed director Bertrand Mandico. Following the success of his previous two feature films, "The Wild Boys" premiered at the Venice Critics' Week in 2017, and "After Blue" selected for Locarno 2021, Mandico continues to push boundaries with his unique artistic vision.
Produced by the renowned French company Ecce Films, "Conann" explores the six lives of the eponymous character, with each incarnation portrayed by a different actress. Elina Löwensohn, a frequent collaborator of Mandico, is among the talented cast. The film delves into the multifaceted nature of masculinity, challenging traditional notions of gender identity and representation.
"Conann" completes Mandico's provocative trilogy, captivating audiences with its queer sensibilities, eroticism, and surreal storytelling. Floréal Films from France and Les Films Fauves from Luxembourg join forces with Ecce Films to bring this audacious project to life.
As the final chapter of a daring cinematic journey, "Conann" promises to ignite discussions and spark new perspectives on identity, desire, and the boundaries of storytelling itself. Bertrand Mandico's visionary direction and the exceptional performances of the cast make this film an exciting addition to the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs lineup at Cannes.
