Planetarium
"Natalie Portman and Lily-Rose Depp star in this eerie wonder from visionary French director Rebecca Zlotowski. A film about speaking to spirits and crafting grand spectacles, 'Planetarium' is itself an otherworldly spectacle - one that lures us into a seductive twilight realm of mystery and secrets. The setting is Paris in the 1930s, where two sisters, American spiritualists Laura (Portman) and Kate Barlow (Depp), are winding up a world tour. Seemingly adept at communicating with the dead, the women are somewhat less experienced with the business of the living. Nevertheless, their astonishing exhibit of apparently supernatural powers piques the interest of powerful French film producer André Korben (Emmanuel Salinger), who retains their strange talents for his wildly ambitious new film project. Laura and Kate are soon swept up in a scheme that, fusing art and the occult, portends a dark shadow soon to be cast over all of Europe. Lyrical and dreamlike, 'Planetarium' immerses us in a world where, as with cinema itself, reality and illusion intermingle until it's nearly impossible to discern between the two." - Toronto International Film Festival
