In A Whisper
Leyla Bouzid
The third feature film by Leyla Bouzid, who gained international recognition with As I Open My Eyes — presented at the Venice Film Festival, where it won the BNL People’s Choice Award and the Europa Cinemas Label Award — and later with A Tale of Love and Desire, selected for the 2021 Cannes Critics’ Week. In this new work, presented in the Official Selection of the Berlinale, Bouzid directs young actresses Eya Bouteraa and Marion Barbeau — nominated for the César Award for Most Promising Actress for En Corps —, alongside renowned actress Hiam Abbass (Succession, Blade Runner 2049, Insidious: The Red Door).
