Atlantics

Marginalized young lovers in Senegal desperately seek a better life by any means necessary, in this highly anticipated, Cannes Grand Prix–winning feature debut from Mati Diop. This gripping, hallucinatory film skirts the line between realism & fantasy, romance & horror, and, in its crystalline empathy, humanity, and political outrage, confirms the arrival of a major talent.
