Madeline's Madeline
The dynamism and diversity of contemporary American film production is based on the emergence of singular voices, and in particular that of women, who in recent years have succeeded in imposing themselves in greater numbers in the industry. This cycle will highlight the talent of these women directors through a range of works that breathe new life into their respective genres, from western to horror film, historical reenactment, adaptation, psychological drama and road movie.
Madeline finds an outlet in theater, while she has a conflicted relationship with her mother. Her teacher, Evangeline, suggests that she draw on this personal experience and makes Madeline's life the raw material for the troupe's exercises. The boundaries between artistic transposition and imagination, reality and fantasy, are blurred, shattering the lives of the three women.
