Written by Anissa Bonnefont and Diastème (who won the Orizzonti Prize for Best Screenplay in Venice 2019 by way of Back Home [+leggi anche:

In gonzo journalism style, Emma becomes one of them and ultimately remains with them for two years, despite only intending to stay for several weeks. Was writing her book simply a pretext for Emma to live out the type of fantasy that’s hard to admit to in our society? From one bedchamber to another and from one woman to the next, the film guides us through a “forbidden” world.

Production of The House is outsourced to Clément Miserez and Matthieu Warter on behalf of Radar Films, in co-production with Belgium’s Umedia and Rezo Films (who will also handle distribution in France). Pre-purchased by Canal+ and OCS, the feature film has enjoyed a four-week film shoot (in Brussels, with several scenes also shot in Berlin) with Yann Maritaud (nominated for the 2021 Cinematography Lumière thanks to Slalom [+leggi anche:
