The actress starred in ‘Love Me,’ a unique love story between a satellite and a buoy, offering a fresh perspective on romance. She also appeared in David Cronenberg’s ‘Crimes of the Future,’ a horror sci-fi film exploring the adaptation of humans to synthetic environments and the ensuing transformations and mutations.
Stewart headlined the biographical movie ‘Spencer,’ portraying Diana Spencer as the narrative delves into the British icon’s struggles with mental health during the Christmas holidays with the Royal Family at their Sandringham estate in Norfolk, England. The film dives into Spencer’s decision to end her decade-long marriage to Prince Charles, offering insight into her personal challenges and the pressures of royal life.
Serra is known for directing politically charged narratives. His latest film ‘Pacifiction’ explores the complex dynamics of power and diplomacy on an island in French Polynesia. The story revolves around the Haut-Commissaire, who navigates between the political elite and the marginalized citizens, ultimately making daring decisions that challenge his own status.
Serra also directed ‘Liberté,’ a historical drama depicting the exploits of libertines expelled from the court of Louis XVI as they seek refuge in the company of a German freethinker.
