The Dryden will screen Mon roi (My King, Maïwenn, France 2015, 125 min., DCP, French w/subtitles).

Tony (Emmanuelle Bercot) is admitted to a rehabilitation center after a serious ski accident. Dependent on the medical staff and pain relievers, she takes time to look back on the turbulent ten-year relationship she experienced with Georgio (Vincent Cassel). Why did they love each other? Who is this man whom she loved so deeply? How did she allow herself to submit to this suffocating and destructive passion? Acclaimed auteur Maïwenn's magnum opus—about the real and metaphysical pain endured by a woman who struggles to leave a destructive codependent relationship with a charming yet extremely self-centered lothario—earned Bercot the award for Best Actress at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.
