Desert Film Society presents MY KING (MON ROI)

Tony and Georgio are an odd match—or so Tony’s brother Solal thinks when she tells him that they’re falling quickly, recklessly in love. Director Maïwenn’s 4th feature captures the couple’s tempestuous 10-year relationship, in retrospect, as a string of flash points - eruptions, betrayals, tender reconciliations, and life-altering decisions. Maïwenn’s impressive new film is one of French Cinema’s most memorable recent “amour fous” (crazy love.)
