1h 46m
Directed by Helena Wittmann • 2022 • France, Germany
Starring Angeliki Papoulia, Denis Lavant, Vladimir Vulević
In her spellbinding, immersive second feature, director Helena Wittmann invites us to relinquish control and join her on a Mediterranean voyage unlike any other. After a stirring encounter with the French Foreign Legion, Ida (DOGTOOTH’s Angeliki Papoulia), sets sail with her own corps of five men, none of whom speak the same language, to trace the route of this fabled troop. Their voyage will take them from Marseille to Corsica and finally to Sidi Bel Abbès, Algeria, the historical headquarters of the Legion. Along the way, boundaries blur, life at sea produces a special kind of mutual understanding, and a legionnaire of yore makes an about-face.
