Marie et les naufragés

Marie and the Misfits

An alternative love triangle swinging between fiction and literature: Marie is an alluring young woman who lacks self-confidence. When she leaves Antoine, a melancholic writer, she meets with Simeon, a jobless journalist. Yet, she prefers to let fate decide her future. Antoine and Simeon become obsessed by an elusive Marie. This is a story of desperate souls between Paris and an island in Brittany. It’s also a story about a story being written. With nearly a dozen shorts and four features (plus a fifth one already in the can), the prolific writer-director Sébastien Betbeder is probably the closest thing France has to a Sundance-style indie filmmaker.
