MUBI, the global distributor, streaming service and production company, has released a brand new clip from director Léa Mysius’s The Five Devils. The film will receive its World Premiere at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival in the Directors’ Fortnight section and the film will be released theatrically in the UK and Ireland followed by an exclusive MUBI streaming release.
Watch the clip in the player below:
Vicky (newcomer Sally Dramé), a strange and solitary little girl, has a magical gift: she can reproduce any scent she finds, which she bottles in an assortment of carefully labeled jars. One of those scents belongs to her mother, Joanne (Palme d’Or-winner Adèle Exarchopoulos), to whom Vicky feels an almost obsessive attachment. When the sudden reappearance of her father’s sister, Julia (Swala Emati), upends their conservative Alpine village and threatens the family’s sense of domestic bliss, Vicky finds that by reproducing her aunt’s smell, she can traverse a series of increasingly dark and archaic memories that reveal the secrets of her village, her family, and her own existence.
