Le repas du singe

About This Movie

Le repas du singe is a raw exploration of modern malaise, focusing on Nadia and Sophie. You get this heavy sense of their struggles, both deeply personal yet universally relatable. Nadia's descent into drugs to escape feels gritty and real, while Sophie’s fleeting relationships pull you into a cycle of hope and disappointment. The pacing is deliberately slow, which amplifies the tension and allows you to really sit with their choices. The performances are quite compelling, almost unpolished, adding to the authenticity. It’s not flashy, but there’s something about its authenticity and the way it captures the weight of loneliness that sticks with you. The atmosphere is thick, almost suffocating, but in a way that feels necessary to the story.
