Planète B

[profiterole_reads]

The French movie Planète B was awesome! In 2039, Julia Bombarth, an ecological activist from Grenoble, gets sent to a virtual prison for terrorism. Nour Hamdi, a journalist from Baghdad whose French visa is going to expire soon, steals a headset from the military base where she's working as a cleaning lady and discovers the truth.

I knew I would love this movie as soon as I saw the trailer. I also thought I would ship the ladies, but now I think this is actually a sapphic movie. There's no kiss, but it's pretty blatant. The director didn't cast Adèle Exarchopoulos as Julia randomly.

A sapphic dystopian movie, awesome! *adds this to the watch later list* Thanks for the rec ^_^

I hope you can find a translation easily.

My French is definitely not as good as it used to be when I was younger, but I think if I can find a subbed version I could manage.

This is going on my watchlist! I hope it will be distributed to my country or shown in a film festival.

I've seen Adèle already in two sapphic films :D

Let's check notes: Blue Is the Warmest Colour and Wingwomen?

It's also interesting to know that she played in Passages, a movie supposedly about a poly bi guy dating both a guy and a woman (played by Adèle Exarchopoulos), though it turned out to be all about cheating, so I don't recommend it.

Blue is the warmest color and the Five Devils! I didn't know she starred in more sapphic films! Good to know that about the film.

I've just watched the trailer for The Five Devils and it looks super weird. lol

In Wingwomen, Manon Bresch plays the officially sapphic character, but the vibes are mostly Mélanie Laurent/Adèle Exarchopoulos.

It was a bit weird but a very interesting film.
I have to check out Wingwomen!
