We continue our fall-semester screening cycle, entitled “La Discorde” (Discord), this Friday (Oct. 11th @ 6:30 pm @ LC 102) with Sarah Suco’s thought-provoking film Les Éblouis (The Dazzled).
Based on the real story of its director’s childhood, Les Éblouis (2019) depicts a French family who enter a religious community, which is initially centered around charity and mutual aid, but gradually becomes sectarian. We follow 12-year-old Camille, the eldest of the four siblings, as she rebels against her parents and fights for her brothers’ and sisters’ freedom. Exploring fraternal and sororal solidarity in the face of religious trauma, Les Éblouis aims to bring to light the abuse children undergo in these dogmatic communities. If you loved Camille Cottin in Killing Eve or House of Gucci, you’ll also enjoy her performance in this movie!
