Conann: A Bold and Innovative Entry at Quinzaine des Réalisateurs in Cannes
Cannes, France - Quinzaine des Réalisateurs proudly presents "Conann," the latest installment in a daring trilogy of queer, erotic, and surreal films by the renowned director Bertrand Mandico. Building upon the acclaim of his previous two feature films, "The Wild Boys," which premiered at the Venice Critics' Week in 2017, and "After Blue," selected for Locarno 2021, Mandico continues to push the boundaries of cinema with his distinctive artistic vision.
Produced by the esteemed French company Ecce Films, "Conann" delves into the six distinct lives of its eponymous character, with each portrayal brought to life by a different actress. Among the talented cast is Elina Löwensohn, a frequent collaborator of Mandico. The film explores the multifaceted nature of masculinity, challenging conventional notions of gender identity and representation.
"Conann" serves as the culminating chapter of Mandico's provocative trilogy, captivating audiences with its queer sensibilities, eroticism, and surreal narrative. In this audacious endeavor, Floréal Films from France and Les Films Fauves from Luxembourg join forces with Ecce Films to breathe life into this groundbreaking project.
As the final act of this daring cinematic journey, "Conann" promises to stimulate discourse and offer fresh perspectives on identity, desire, and the very limits of storytelling. Bertrand Mandico's visionary direction and the exceptional performances by the cast make this film a thrilling addition to the Quinzaine des Réalisateurs lineup at Cannes.
