Directed by Pierre Creton • 2023 • France
Starring Antoine Pirotte, Pierre Creton, Grégory Gadebois
Shortlisted for the Cannes Queer Palm award, this subtly surreal pastoral from ever-fascinating outsider auteur Pierre Creton is a strange and sensuous saga of botany and sex that unfolds across generations. Told almost entirely through voice-over narration by Gallic luminaries Mathieu Amalric, Françoise Lebrun, and Grégory Gadebois, A PRINCE follows the journey of a young man (Antoine Pirotte) as he begins an apprenticeship in the French countryside to train as a gardener. There he encounters a trio of men who will prove decisive in both his nascent career as a horticulturist and in unleashing his sexuality.
