Saint-Exupéry

Saint-Exupéry (Saint-Ex, 2024) is a French-Belgian historical drama you can watch online on iFILM. Louis Garrel plays Antoine de Saint-Exupéry years before The Little Prince — back when he was a mail pilot hauling sacks of letters across South America in 1930.

With his fellow flyer Henri Guillaumet, he dreams up a shorter line that would cut straight over the Andes, where thin air and stone walls leave no margin for a mistake. Then Guillaumet's plane vanishes somewhere above the peaks. Instead of waiting for a rescue party, Saint-Ex climbs into his own cockpit and flies off into the dark to find his friend, knowing the odds are almost nothing. Diane Kruger, Vincent Cassel and Benoît Magimel play the people who keep him tethered, both on the ground and in the sky.

Director Pablo Agüero traces how the fear, the loss and those long flights slowly shaped the writer whose tale of a boy from an asteroid would later travel the whole world. The angle isn't a polished tribute — it's a man who errs, gambles other lives and pays for the dream. Good for anyone drawn to aviation adventures and biographies without the gloss.
