Marguerite & Julien
Directed by Valérie Donzelli
Produced by Wild Bunch, Rectangle Productions
A tragic, intimate portrait of forbidden desire between siblings, rendered with period beauty but suffused with melancholy and social condemnation.
Julien and Marguerite de Ravalet, son and daughter of the Lord of Tourlaville, have loved each other tenderly since childhood. But as they grow up, their affection veers toward voracious passion.
