Bertrand Bonello is a rare actor that can play the narrative so well and portray the film from so many various views. Nocturama relies on the audience's comprehension, and it receives it. Bonello's constancy in making a film without explicit explanations shows us a tale as it is, and we must unravel it to understand it. The narrative follows and depicts the beauty of Parisian teenagers. At the same time, they commit a terrorist attack and subsequently engineer a sequence of circumstances that would lead to the final explanation of the sad occurrences.

The key point in the film is that such deeds are never fully explained, because Bonello never gives his heroes the opportunity to explain themselves. Furthermore, he extends that responsibility to us, the audience, who will scrutinize the faces of each innocent young person, what they've become, and what lies behind each decision made. The Parisian youth, presented in a unique way, is an important component of the film, mourning in its grandeur and confirming its rank. Bonello cleverly manipulates ideology, class, and terrorist attacks, and he solely relies on his audience's comprehension.

Houda Benyamina directed the 2016 drama film Divines. At the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, it was shown in the Directors' Fortnight section. Houda Benyamina won the Caméra d'Or in Cannes. The film was also an official selection in the Discovery section of the Toronto International Film Festival. On November 18, 2016, it was made available on Netflix globally.

Divines, which was nominated for a Golden Globe, follows a youngster from a broken household in Paris who meets a young dancer who flips her life upside down. Although the narrative appears straightforward, it is far from that. Scene after scene, the characters, settings, and relationships all have remarkable power. Almost every scenario is heartbreaking, from a classroom quarrel to a daughter-mother argument. Divines is a film about surviving in a crazy world, and the characters feel very genuine. Oulaya Amamra and Déborah Lukumuena are fantastic actresses who I'm sure we'll hear more about in the future.

C'est quoi cette famille (We Are Family) is one of the funniest French comedies out today, centered around a little boy named Bastien and his six half-siblings. Bastien's parents, it turns out, had married, split, and remarried several times, resulting in a slew of half-brothers and half-sisters with whom he shares a home. After having had enough of the short-lived living arrangements, as well as his parents shifting every now and then, he and his siblings take a stance and vow not to relocate any more.

Instead, they want their parents to come and stay with them on a rotating basis. C'est quoi cette famille is a true take on the prevalent urbane lifestyle that youngsters nowadays are becoming accustomed to. It is hilarious to the core and full of rib-tickling fun.
