Wonders in the Suburbs Merveilles à Montfermeil
by Jeanne Balibar
Official Selection 2019
The programmer’s eye
This whimsical film explores the gap between the team working at the Montfermeil city hall and the citizens. Actress Jeanne Balibar’s first feature film embraces its subject and polishes it as though it was a poetic motif, albeit one that’s much more subtle, surprising and funny than any other policy.
