Petit Louis

English. Directed by Andre Bato.

The second narrative film by Italian born filmmaker and creative director Andre Bato, "Petit Louis" (2023) follows the romance between young runaway Chiara and inscrutable French artist J. Set entirely within the confines of a small European apartment that the camera never leaves, the film unfolds over the duration of their relationship, offering a candid exploration of love in the mid-1970s. As emotions escalate and the romance enters periods of strain, Bato invites viewers to contemplate the defense mechanisms we employ in relationships, and the self-made prisons constructed as a result. Through Chiara's and J's relationship, "Petit Louis" (2023) journeys deep into matters of the heart and the role our actions play in how relationships evolve over time.
