We take a look at the French films kicking off 2026, as Manon Kerjean tells us about ‘Furcy’, the true story of a slave living on Reunion Island in the early 19th century who discovers that he was, in fact, born free. We also discuss the moving family drama “The Wonderers” and hear from début director Joséphine Japy about bringing her personal experience to the film.
One of the world’s greatest counterfeiters, Jan Bojarski, inspired our next new release, “The Bojarski Affair”, which recounts his exploits during World War II and beyond.
Plus we check out a tale of sorority and the endless days of summer in “Ma Frère”.
