PARIS, 13TH DISTRICT BD

Jacques Audiard returns to Paris with an adaptation of Adrian Tomine's 2015 collection of graphic short stories Killing and Dying. Written in collaboration with Portrait of a Lady on Fire writer-director Celine Sciamma, and Lea Mysius, Paris, 13th District is set in the French capital's 13th arrondissement, on the left bank of the Seine, and charts the interwoven relationships between four twenty-somethings. Capturing a very different Paris to the one that appeared in his previous films, which were dominated by the city's underworld, Paris, 13th District is a modern story of love and life, reflecting shifting attitudes towards identity and fidelity in today's Paris.
