In Les Liens De Sang (“Blood Ties”), we see the youngest daughter of an autocratic father take her birthday as the chance to break free. It’s a sumptuous short, filled with imagery that is both disturbing and revealing of her backstory.
You’ve got to admire the work of Sophie Kavouridis, Manon Lazzari, Marion Louw, Simon Pannetrat, and Thomas Ricquier. In just a few minutes, there’s enough packed into this short for you to turn over in your mind all day.
