Peter Von Kant (Denis Ménochet) is a famous director who lives with Karl, his assistant, whom he doesn’t shy away from mistreating. One day, Sidonie (Isabelle Adjani), an actress friend of his, introduces him to the handsome Amir, a boy of humble origins with whom Peter quickly falls in love. A free adaptation of Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s The Bitter Tears of Petra von Kant (1972). It was the film chosen for the opening of the 2022 Berlinale. From François Ozon, we finally deserve a cinematic diversion and toast with him in the homage to Fassbinder!
