GEN_ IMDb Douban
other title: GEN_ / Faire corps
Plongée dans le service "Diagnostic et thérapie de la stérilité et de la cryoconservation" de l'hôpital métropolitain de Niguarda, à Milan. Y viennent des couples hétérosexuels en quête d'un enfant depuis un certain temps et qui, pour des raisons médicales ou socioculturelles, décident de recourir à des techniques de fécondation assistée. A côté d'eux, on trouve une population touchée par ce que l'on appelle médicalement la "dysphorie de genre" : l'insatisfaction par rapport au corps assigné à la naissance et le désir ferme de le "corriger", de s'orienter vers une physiologie qui corresponde à ses sentiments intérieurs. Chaque jour, le chef de service, Maurizio Bini, médecin spécialiste de l'infertilité, sexologue, endocrinologue et licencié en philosophie accueille ces patients, dans leur singularité et leur unicité.

The Zola Experience (2023)
L’Expérience Zola IMDb TMDB Douban
other title: 左拉体验 / L’Expérience Zola …
Anne, director, adapts L’Assommoir by Emile Zola in which she plays the role of Gervaise. The story echoes her life. Through the mise en abyme, the film challenges this troubling border where fiction merges with reality, where life merges with art. A naturalistic approach that questions intimacy, drama, passion, work and love, and seeks to shed light on the most vibrant, timeless and universal aspects of life.

The Last Chapter (2021)
La dernière séance
other title: 最后里程 / La dernière séance …
Bernard just retired. He is 63 years old. He lives alone with his two cats and decides to move in the house where he will live the last chapter of the book of his life. While packing, he starts to have to choose what to take with him. Bernard is my master and I am his slave. His last lover. I help him put away his whip in a box, between the remains of his memory, tokens of lovers stripped from his arms by AIDS, traces of a foster family that pushed him away, of a rigid education that marked him, of a mother and a father that he never met. Our sexual games are the possibility for two generations to meet: between a whip and a leather harness we discuss love, death, the AIDS epidemic of the 80s, his new life project, us. The wounds and the grave goods of a survivor, a cry of life under the lights of sexual pulsions.
