In Félicité, director Alain Gomis presents a nightclub singer whose life is turned upside down when she must collect a large sum of money to pay for her son’s operation.
Gomis dares to abandon realism, allies the worldly with the sublime, and plunges us into darkness. The hopeful note is the idea that setbacks need not be deathblows and that love can be found in unexpected places. A compelling, musical metropolitan drama that won the Silver Bear in Berlin.
