La Prisonnière de Bordeaux

Visiting Hours

Quinzaine 2024 | Feature film | 108 min | France

World premiere

Two women cross paths in the waiting room of a prison where each has come to visit "their man". One is a wealthy bourgeois woman, the other, a mother of two children who has to work hard to put food on the table. The former, who lives much closer to the prison, offers the latter a room in her large house. Is this a friendship, a romance, a pact? The film follows the unlikely pair, their dreams of female emancipation, and the reverberations of the gulf that separates them. Nothing is black-and-white here, nor half-hearted.

Patricia Mazuy

Born in Dijon in 1960, Patricia Mazuy went to HEC business school to satisfy her father's wishes. She was mainly involved with the school’s cine-club, which confirmed her love of westerns and thrillers. She left for Los Angeles where she shot a short film with money she earned as a babysitter and met Agnès Varda and her editor Sabine Mamou. The latter hired her as an intern on Demy’s A Room in Town. After editing Varda’s Vagabond, she made her first feature, Thick Skinned.
