Workaholic/sexaholic criminal lawyer Virginie Efira struggles with the absurdities of life and love. ANATOMY OF A FALL auteur Justine Triet's elegantly chaotic romantic farce IN BED WITH VICTORIA (2016) sees a woman at a crossroads & courtroom drama with a dog witness—go figure!

Whether a famous frontierswoman or Tarzan's mate, Jane Birkin always plays herself in this whimsical, expressionistic collaboration with Agnès Varda. Two creative icons reflect on their careers, obsessions & each other in the freewheelin' docufantasy JANE B. PAR AGNÈS V. (1988).

Aristocratic white mice and an oak-dwelling, bird-bat faction vie for a bespoke human-doll totem. 13 years in the macabre making, Christiane Cegavske's wordless stop-motion yarn BLOOD TEA AND RED STRING (2006) is "at once wondrously obsolete and perfectly au courant." @newyorktimes.bsky.social

Berlin archeologist Maren Eggert is coerced into a momentous experiment: cohabitating with humanoid robot Dan Stevens as "he" adapts to her needs. A gently droll, bittersweetly pensive rom-com, Maria Schrader's I'M YOUR MAN (2021) playfully values emotional intelligence over AI.
