Paul & Paulette Take A Bath
5 – 11 September, 2025
An unconventional romantic comedy about a young American photographer and a French woman with a taste for the macabre.
The winner of Critic’s Week Audience Award at last year’s Venice Film Festival, Paul & Paulette Take A Bath follows the titular couple after a chance encounter on a Parisian boulevard sparks an unusual relationship that grows around a dark game; reenacting scenes of notorious crimes from bygone eras at the sites they occurred. For Paul, the game is a way of getting closer to Paulette. For Paulette, it’s a way of escaping a painful break-up. As their road trip approaches the more recent past it becomes more uncomfortable, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy, but finding a surprising joy in the darker corners of humanity.
