My Sole Desire

What we're watching • Drama, Romance, UR, 12-Dec-2022

This erotic drama stars Louise Chevillotte as Manon, the newcomer to a Parisian strip club where Mia (Zita Hanrot) also works. The two become friends then something more, as director and co-writer Lucie Borleteau (Fidelio - Alice's Story) explores female kinship and desire. Her drama goes more than skin deep, even including an unexpected cameo from the great documentarian, Frederick Wiseman, who once made a film about the Crazy Horse stripclub in Paris.
