Faute de soleil is a raw exploration of human connection and emotional isolation. Lucie, played by Sara Haxaire, navigates her turbulent relationship with her mother, which adds a layer of familial tension to her already complicated life as a stripper. The introduction of Jean, the blind brother of the emcee, brings a peculiar twist—Lucie’s attraction to him stems from his inability to see her, which raises questions about identity and desire. The film has this gritty, intimate atmosphere, enhanced by its understated performances. The pacing isn’t frantic; it gives you room to breathe and think about the characters’ motivations. The practical effects are subtle but effective, grounding the story in a somewhat bleak reality that makes it distinctively compelling.
