Sophie Letourneur

For twenty years, Sophie Letourneur has enriched French cinema with her vibrant, unconventional films—quirky comedies, photo-novels, and other undefinable creations that blur the lines between fiction and documentary.

Desire, seduction, relationships, their longevity, and existential anxieties like the fear of loneliness and boredom are themes she has observed and dissected with humor and boldness. Her films bring together chatty, outrageously impolite groups of women, masked sailors, and pregnant men, creating a world both peculiar and captivating.

With five short films and five feature-length works, including her recent anti-romantic comedy Voyages en Italie, Letourneur—who sometimes appears as an actress in her own films—has carved out a unique voice in French cinema. Her sharp wit and singular style have made her a true original in the cinematic landscape.
