Lost in Frenchlation: Director Nora El Hourch talks about HLM Pussy

French director Nora El Hourch gets accepted to Cannes with her debut feature. 10 years ago Nora made a short film about sexual assault and a decade later she made a feature film around the same theme. Nora speaks with ARBL Murray (Alexandra Lynn) and Manon Kerjean about the making of the film. 

 

The Film HLM Pussy centers around three girls in the Paris suburbs dealing with differences in class, race, and privilege-- when a sexual assault occurs they all grapple with how to deal with it in their own way and the different pressures it creates for each of them. 

 

This episode was produced by ARBL Murray for World Radio Paris, and recorded at independent cinema, Club de L'Étoile in Paris.
