Marie Madeleine

Artmattan Films Virtual Cinema Blog · 5 days ago · 31 views

'Shot in gorgeously saturated colours by Canadian cinematographer Nicolas Canniccioni (How to Have Sex, TIFF ’23), Marie Madeleine — named, in fact, for the protagonist’s grandmother — revels in the spirituality and daily lives of the island’s people. It celebrates forms of expression: dance, poetry, song, and sexuality in all the ways that they lead one back to their true self.," ~ROBYN CITIZEN, TIFFMore

Following her acclaimed Freda, Haitian filmmaker Gessica Généus returns with Marie Madeleine, which premiered in the Official Selection – Cannes Première and now screens in TIFF’s Centrepiece programme.

In Jacmel, Haiti, Marie Madeleine is a fiercely independent woman whose path crosses that of Joseph, a young evangelical struggling with his faith. Their unlikely relationship opens a world where desire, belief, morality, and the search for freedom collide.

Directed by Gessica Geneus, 104 minutes, 2026, Haiti, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Canada, Drama, French, Haitian (with English subtitles)
