Hushpuppy lives with her daddy in “the Bathtub”, a small bayou community in the Mississippi Delta isolated from the world. When a hurricane hits and the waters rise, everything south of the levee is flooding… Told entirely from the perspective of the six-year-old heroine, this poetic post-Katrina fairy tale of survival has become one of the festival revelations of the past year. The 2003-born Quvenzhané Wallis became the youngest person ever to have received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her role in Beasts of the Southern Wild. (English spoken)

A narco-thriller, a drama about gender transition, a musical, a telenovela, a comedy: Jacques Audiard’s film, like its titular heroine, defies categorisation and constantly subverts expectations. One of the most awarded films of the season and a serious contender for the Oscars.
