MAX and Inside Out 2SLGBTQ+ Film Festival are proud to present THE BALCONETTES: As a heat wave brings a Marseille neighbourhood to a boil, three roommates gleefully meddle in the lives of their neighbours from their balcony. Until a late night drink turns into a bloody affair. Written in collaboration with Céline Sciamma, Noémie Merlant’s follow-up to her Cannes 2020 debut is a brazen in-your-face-foray into genre. Sometimes gory, sometimes playful, always vengeful.
Content Warning: Domestic violence, general violence, blood and graphic description of sexual assault.
