Julien Colonna<\/strong>‘s astonishing first feature turns the mafia genre on its head, very simply by telling it from the point of view of a 15-year-old girl. When summer begins, Lesia is going to the beach and wrapped up in clandestine meetings with her boyfriend… until she’s suddenly whisked away by a man on a motorbike and taken to the isolated seaside villa where her Corsican crime-boss father is on the lam. It’s a ritual she’s more than familiar with; it’s the story of her life. But this is the summer Lesia’s father opens both his heart and his world to her, and she will never be the same. Co-written with COLCOA\/TAFFF veteran writer-director Jeanne Herry<\/strong> (In Safe Hands<\/em> and All Your Faces<\/em>), The Kingdom<\/em><\/strong> not only lures us into that sinister world, but is simultaneously moving, chilling and complex in its illustration of how the torch is passed in an endless wheel of violence.<\/p>\n

Born in Corsica, Julien Colonna<\/strong> began his career directing commercials for such clients as Mastercard, Hennessey and Verbreuil. He wrote and directed his first short, The Confession<\/em>, in 2015, which was followed by the documentary Luo Yang’s Girls<\/em> (2019). He’s directed two TV series, Brutal: Taste of Violence<\/em> (2016) and Gloria<\/em> (2021). The Kingdom<\/em><\/strong>, his first feature, premiered in the Un Certain Regard section of this year’s Cannes Film Festival, and is presented at TAFFF prior to its French theatrical release.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_image src=”https:\/\/theamericanfrenchfilmfestival.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/the-kingdom2.jpg” image_size=”full” frame_style=”gray_border” align=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
