Leaving January 1

Directed by Alice Diop | 40 mins | 2016
Four young men from the Parisian banlieues discourse on sex and love in this up-close and confessional, César-winning exploration of the contemporary male gaze. As in "Danton’s Death" (2011), the filmmaker Alice Diop is present in the film as interlocutor: the candidness of her subjects is a testament to the integrity and thoughtfulness of her approach to documentary.
