My Sole Desire
Lucie Borleteau's free-spirited and hedonistic drama follows a young woman's physical and emotional awakening in the world of striptease.
Director: Lucie Borleteau
Overview
This erotic drama stars Louise Chevillotte as Manon, the newcomer to a Parisian strip club where Mia (Zita Hanrot) also works. The two become friends then something more, as director and co-writer Lucie Borleteau (Fidelio - Alice's Story) explores female kinship and desire. Her drama goes more than skin deep, even including an unexpected cameo from the great documentarian, Frederick Wiseman, who once made a film about the Crazy Horse stripclub in Paris.
