Lea Seydoux and Arthur Harari team up in the director’s latest movie, The Unknown. Just from these two names, the film has great potential: one of the most exciting actresses in French cinema today, who always delivers fantastic performances, is paired with a director with a strong vision who co-wrote the 2023 Palme d’Or winner, Anatomy of a Fall.

Peter Weir is a remarkable director rarely given the credit he deserves. He consistently proved himself to be an exceptionally versatile and talented filmmaker and may be, alongside George Miller, the single most successful Australian director of all time, leaving behind a wildly impressive collection of films including the beloved Witness (1985), Dead Poets Society (1989), The Truman Show(1998) and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

Fjord is set in a remote town in Norway, where the Gheorghiu family moves at the beginning of the movie and where the mother, Lisbet Gheorghiu (Renate Reinsve) was born and grew up. Mihai Gheorghiu (Sebastian Stan) is originally from Romania and works as a software engineer at the local school his children attend.

Iron Boy is set in 1987 in the French countryside, where the main character, 11-year-old Cristophe (Gary Clichy), lives on the family farm with his stern and distant father (Dimitri Colas), his agriculture-loving older brother JB (Rod Paradot), his sweet and accommodating mum (Aurelie Vassort) and his younger sister Clara (Brune Moulin). Cristophe struggles with his balance and often falls over during his daily life, which prompts the doctor to prescribe him an iron corset, which Cristophe will have to wear every day. This distances him from work on the farm and from his peers, who make fun of him, but Cristophe finds a keen interest in music, as the Priest (Jean-Pascal Zadi) teaches him how to play the organ.
