Adieu Vénus

Beauty, a virgin Aphrodite-Venus, Ideal of a woman, is supported in order to be able to return from where she came, to her origin, pure, before the Acropolis, having taken the wrong path, via Venice, having been deviated - as tragically revealed by the child (son to whom and from whom?) Given to him by a Mother, such abandonment is given to her - by a man with multiple figures, evoking a non-antagonist Oedipus-Christian, an opponent , wrestler, to the world, himself supported by Epigone, both at their greatest risk.

Directed by Martin Ziegler, Adieu Vénus leans on a strong ensemble — Mathilde Mosnier, Julien Cosquéric, Catherine Badet-Corniou — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2021.
