Exclusive trailer and poster for Bruno Dumont’s Red Rocks depict the experience of growing up on the French Riviera.
Following his ambitious venture into more serious sci-fi with The Empire, Bruno Dumont is making a return to the coming-of-age genre with his much-anticipated Directors’ Fortnight selection, Red Rocks. The film follows two groups of children on the French Riviera throughout the summer as they navigate the onset of friendships and first attractions. Ahead of its world premiere on May 20, we are excited to exclusively unveil the first trailer and poster.
Featuring cinematography by Carlos Alfonso Corral, a frequent collaborator of Roberto Minervini, the trailer hints at a different tone for Dumont compared to his recent films, showcasing a lively energy that matches the youthfulness of his characters. The cast includes Kaylon Lancel (Géo), Kelsie Verdeilles (Eve), Louise Podolski (Manon), Mohamed Coly (Rouben), Alessandro Piquera (B), and Meryl Pires (Do), with a runtime of 91 minutes.
The synopsis reads: “Set on the French Riviera, two groups of kids engage in the risky game of cliff jumping. Géo, only five years old, experiences a summer where friendship intertwines with rivalry, and the beginnings of romance emerge against the stunning Mediterranean backdrop.”
“Red Rocks signifies a new direction in his filmography,” stated the Directors’ Fortnight team. “Filmed on the French Riviera with very young actors, the movie takes on a documentary-like style, characterized by the intentional use of wide-angle lenses. Once again, Dumont delves into the beauty that can arise from cinema.”
