Scarlet

By Italian director Pietro Marcello based on the 1923 novel ‘’SCARLET SAILS’ by Russian writer Alexander Grin.  Director Marcello became enchanted with the story and wanted to explore as a fairy tale come true. This film was the opener at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival with rave reviews. The story begins with a World War I veteran Raphael (Raphael Thiery), returning to the village in Normandy where he left his wife only to find that she has died, and his infant daughter Juliette is being cared for by a woman with whom his wife worked. Raphael is a very quiet individual whose demeanor is that of an uncultured handyman who works odd jobs to care for Juliette and forges a tender, loving relationship with her. Juliette (Juliette Jouan in her debut film) blossoms into a beautiful, talented young woman who dreams of one day falling in love and being swept away as predicted by a woman dubbed as a witch by the villagers. Do fairy tales come true? Discover the unexpected talents of Raphael and Juliette as the story unfolds with the beautiful music by Lebanese - French composer Gabriel Yared with lyrics adapted from poems by French writer Louise Michel.
