Top 200 Most Anticipated Foreign Films of 2023: #41. Stéphane Demoustier’s Ibiza

Published on January 17, 2023

Ibiza

He has been steadily building his filmography with 2014’s 40-Love, 2018’s Cléo & Paul and 2019’s The Girl with a Bracelet and we have a feeling that this fourth feature film (which went into production this past May) might have plenty to offer. Stéphane Demoustier enlisted Hafsia Herzi and the less-known Moussa Mansaly for a project that was formerly known as Borgo, and while details are non-existent we’ve come to understand that the island and sun setting are indeed important details to the the film’s core. Ibiza was actually filmed in Corsica. Petit Film and France 3 Cinéma are producing.

Gist: Details are not available.

Release Date/Prediction: We have this down as a Cannes Un Certain Regard world premiere.
