Time & Tickets

As a heat wave brings a Marseille neighbourhood to the boil, best friends and roommates Ruby, Élise and Nicole gleefully meddle in the lives of their neighbours from their balcony. Until a late night drink turns into a bloody affair.

Written in collaboration with Céline Sciamma (Portrait De La Jeune Fille En Feu), Noémie Merlant’s gloriously gory and funny film is a whimsical investigation of the hidden mechanisms of the male gaze, and a prime example of feminist horror comedy. Sometimes gory, sometimes playful, but always vengeful.

Noémie Merlant, France, 2024, 105 min. French spoken, Dutch subtitles. With Souheila Yacoub, Sanda Codreanu, Noémie Merlant, Lucas Bravo, Nadège Beausson-Diagne.
