Aude Léa Rapin, french director and scriptwriter, images a distopic world in which human conflicts are harsh and one must manage to survive. “Planet B”, with Adèle Exarchopoulos, is the special event opening film of Settimana della critica (Critic’s Week).
Aude Léa Rapin (1984) began her career as a photographer and videographer in the Balkans and Africa. She produced a triptych documentary, haunted by the ghosts of war in the Balkans. An experience that marked her and that she still puts into her films today.
“In this movie I talk about reality and virtual world, which both scare me a lot“, director says.
