Graphic novelist Sophie is disillusioned with adulthood in Nine Antico’s black and white drama of twentysomething life
This is not a perfect film but it is an interesting one. French graphic novelist Nine Antico makes her feature debut, and puts us in the familiar universe of a woman in her mid-20s, disappointed and disillusioned with adulthood. Here, it’s 28-year-old Sophie, who is struggling to get noticed as a graphic novelist and useless at relationships. Antico has joked that her film is 73% autobiographical, and perhaps its quarter-life crisis superpower is that on a genuine level it feels relatable and real.
Antico films Paris in black and white, which gives everything hipness and cool. Sara Forestier is likable and warm as Sophie, who quits her job waitressing to work at a small publisher of graphic novels, secretly dreaming they will print her work. Sophie’s fancy job title is...

Ahead of its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival, Stephen Maxwell Johnson’s “High Ground” has found a U.S. home with Samuel Goldwyn. The film, headlined by Simon Baker, is represented in international markets by pan-European group Playtime and is having a gala screening at the festival.
Set in 1919, “High Ground” tells the story of former WWI sniper Travis, who is now a policeman in the vast and remote landscape of Northern Australia. He loses control of an operation, resulting in the massacre of an indigenous tribe.
While his superiors decide to bury the truth, the experience leaves a scar on Travis’ conscience, but he’s forced to return there 12 years later on a mission to track down an Aboriginal outlaw. Travis soon realizes the young man he’s chasing is the only known survivor of the massacre.
