About
Synopsis
M (2017) is a French drama you can watch online on iFILM — a directing debut that earned Sara Forestier more attention than expected, partly because she wrote it, directed it, and gave herself the hardest role in it. Her character Lila has a severe speech impediment; the film doesn't soften or explain it away.
At a bus stop she meets Mo (Redouanne Harjane), a chatty young man who races cars illegally and can't seem to stay still. The contrast between them is played straight — funny at first, then quietly serious as Mo's own burden comes to light. Jean-Pierre Léaud appears in a supporting role. His presence isn't incidental: Forestier is in conversation with French cinema history here, consciously or not. Stream M online on iFILM.
