Trois amies

Three longtime friends find their lives delicately unsettled in Emmanuel Mouret’s finely observed relationship drama. Joan, Alice and Rebecca share a close bond shaped by years of intimacy and mutual trust. Yet beneath their apparent stability, doubts and desires begin to surface. Joan realizes she no longer loves her partner Victor, while Alice defends the quiet comfort of long-term attachment — even as her own relationship hides unexpected fractures. What unfolds is a subtle chain reaction of emotional confessions, concealed affairs and shifting loyalties. Mouret approaches his characters with tenderness and irony, tracing how love can be both sustaining and destabilizing. Conversations unfold with philosophical lightness, yet carry the weight of real consequence, as each decision reverberates through the fragile ecosystem of friendship. Led by a nuanced ensemble cast including Camille Cottin, Sara Forestier and India Hair, THREE FRIENDS (Trois amies) continues Mouret’s exploration of romantic entanglements with wit and emotional precision. The film had its world premiere in Competition at the 81st Venice International Film Festival (2024), where it was nominated for the Golden Lion, affirming Mouret’s position as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary French cinema.
