A strange and beguiling love story | Shy, awkward Jeanne (Noémie Merlant, “Portrait of a Lady on Fire”) lives a solitary life, living at home with her mother and working the late shift at the nearby amusement park. She’s content keeping mostly to herself, until the arrival of the park’s brand-new attraction: a neon-lit tilt-a-whirl she dubs Jumbo. Jeanne finds herself increasingly drawn to the ride, and though not everyone understands this passionate new relationship, she falls giddily, head-over-heels in love. Making her feature debut, writer-director Zoé Wittock tells a sweet, strange, and heartfelt romance unlike any you’ve seen before. (In French with English subtitles)
