The Balconettes (2024)

"The Balconettes" is a French thriller-comedy set during a heatwave in Marseille, where three women watching their neighbor across the street get pulled into something far darker than curiosity. Noemie Merlant directs and stars, splitting her role between camera and screen while playing one of the women at the center of the story. Souheila Yacoub, Sanda Codreanu, and Nadege Beausson-Diagne fill out the apartment, and the site carries 24 scenes drawn from the film covering their topless and nude scenes across the sweat-soaked storyline. A sex scene factors into the plot as well, tied directly to the voyeurism that sets everything off. Merlant's scenes sit alongside Yacoub's and Codreanu's, giving the archive a full spread of the film's explicit material.
