Wild Life
- 9PM
Carole and Philippe (Céline Sallette and Mathieu Kassovitz), tired of propriety and consumerism, opt to renounce civilization and live off the land. Calling themselves Nora and Paco, they lead a nomadic life in their caravan, gradually adding children to the mix. But when Nora tires of their itinerant lifestyle and gains custody of their sons, Philippe refuses to allow his progeny to be raised according to the societal codes he abhors. This riveting true story (based on the case of Xavier Fortin), directed by Cédric Kahn, received a special jury prize at the San Sebastian International Film Festival and features a career-defining performance by Kassovitz.
