Top 200 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2023: #86. Delphine Girard’s Le plus vivant possible

Date:

Le plus vivant possible

We had Delphine Girard‘s Le plus vivant possible has a possible 2022 drop, but perhaps there wasn’t enough time in post for this to happen. Winner of the Arte Kino International Award as part of the Coproduction Village of Les Arcs Film Festival in 2020, this feature is based on her short film Une soeur, production on her debut took place in March of 2021 in Brussels. Girard re-teamed with Veerle Baetens and a supporting cast comprised of Selma Alaoui, Guillaume Duhesme, Anne Dorval. Previously, the Belgian filmmaker had three shorts and was a second assistant director for Maïwenn’s Polisse and Bavo Defurne’s Souvenir.

Gist: The day after a party turned nasty, Dary, Aly and Anna must face the echoes of the violence that transformed all three of them.

Release Date/Prediction: We thought this might be hitting Rotterdam but they’ll likely want to do outreach to French fests in Cannes and Locarno.
