Occidental

Directed by Neïl Beloufa

As protests sweep across France, Italian couple Giorgio and Antonio arrive at a Paris hotel to celebrate their relationship. Suspicious of the two men, the hotel manager calls the police, turning what should have been a joyful occasion into an unexpected confrontation with prejudice.
Occidental is a sharp, absurd French political satire about nationalism, masculinity and social disorder unfolding inside a Paris hotel. Neïl Beloufa keeps the tone deliberately strange, using farce and unease to make the film feel both comic and threatening.
