Allégorie citadine

Synopsis
A ballet dancer is late for an audition for a show inspired by Plato’s Allegory of the Cave. She arrives with her seven-year-old son, Jay, and begs the director to give her a chance. But when the rehearsals start, Jay escapes, embarking on a poetic and philosophical journey through Paris.
Editorial
Enchanted by a child’s curious gaze, An Urban Allegory is quintessential Alice Rohrwacher. Together with street artist JR, the supernal filmmaker assembles a kaleidoscopically playful vision of art, tracing how it moves through this stage of magical light and alluring shadow we call the world.
