About
La Gradiva screens at Ciné Lumière as part of the French Film Festival London, on 18, 21 and 23 November 2026. Marine Atlan's film follows a pack of rowdy French teenagers on a school field trip to Pompeii, where sunshine, desire, passion, angst and class tensions in the present unfold against the ruins, decay and beauty of the ancient past. As their journey progresses the dynamics of the ensemble shift, with pressure building between the students as close proximity brings the hidden economic realities that structure their social lives to the fore. The film was nominated for the Golden Camera and the Queer Palm at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.
