Film show: 'La Petite Dernière', a searing portrayal of being Muslim and lesbian in Marseille

In this week’s film show, Manon Kerjean and Dheepthika Laurent look at Nadia Melliti’s performance as an Arab woman struggling with her sexual identity in “La Petite Dernière”, a film for which she won best actress at the Cannes Film Festival. We also look at François Ozon’s daring, bold adaptation of Albert Camus’ masterpiece “L’Étranger” and discuss the technical prowess of “L’Homme qui rétrécit”, a film starring Oscar-winning actor Jean Dujardin. Finally, we check out Isabelle Huppert’s new film, “La femme la plus riche du monde”, a biopic loosely inspired by L’Oréal heiress Liliane Bettencourt.
