Thermidor

About This Movie

Thermidor presents this intriguing exploration of nostalgia and revolutionary ideals. Vicky, the main character, attends a mass commemorating Louis XVI, and this year, Ingrid, a younger companion, joins him. The age gap creates an interesting dynamic, as Ingrid seems enchanted by Vicky’s complex persona. There’s a distinct atmosphere—dark yet reflective, with a pacing that allows the viewer to dwell on the more philosophical aspects of their discussions. Themes of chivalry, rebellion, and a longing for lost values emerge, set against a backdrop of modern discontent. It's a film that challenges the viewer to think about history's relevance today, and it does so with a kind of quiet intensity that sticks with you.

Thermidor has had a somewhat limited release, making it a bit of a hidden gem in certain circles. The film has circulated mainly through independent screenings and niche film festivals, which adds to its allure among collectors. It's not widely available on mainstream formats, so finding an original release or any special editions can be quite a task. The thematic depth and the intriguing character dynamics make it a point of interest for those who appreciate unconventional storytelling.
