A millennial tale of love and loneliness - How can meaningful relationships ever be formed in this fast-moving world?
1 August 2021
The setting is Paris, 13th district. Youth culture. The fast life of millennials. Aspirations. Vanity. Egotistic admiration of one's idealised self-image and attributes. Sex. Love. Loneliness.

Written and directed by the veteran French filmmaker Jacques Audiard and shot predominantly in black-and-white monochrome, Les Olympiades, Paris 13e (2021) is adapted from three interweaving stories about sex and love by the American comic book artist Adrian Tomine.

The film is about the hope (and hopelessness) of being a millennial and trying to find your place in this fast-moving world.
