Nô Feminist

Gloria, Lili and Amir rehearse a Noh play under the strict direction of Master Hiro. The premiere is in a few hours, Amir has trouble concentrating due to the incessant noise of the door slamming, Lilli's awkward position on stage makes it difficult for her to perform, and Gloria, the great admirer of the master suffers from knee after injury. Nothing is going well and the master has disappeared. He is locked in his dressing room from which a thick smoke comes out. In search of their master, the three actors discover that this committed director never wrote his plays, that he stole them from his childhood sweetheart.

Directed by Aïssa Maïga, Nô Feminist leans on a strong ensemble — Aksel Carrez, Selena Diouf, Coline Rage — 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 2022.
