- 2017 LOCARNO Best Director

Magloire is on the run from his life without a suitcase in hand or a plan in his mind. He bumps into a dying man who hands him a wad of cash. Is he a godsend or harbinger of doom? Soon after, Magloire falls hostage to a thieving gang and becomes both a victim and an accomplice. Cult French director and musician F.J. Ossang, the uncompromising punk poet of cinema, describes 9 Fingers, his new film in seven years, as “a delirious punk requiem”. The film’s marvelous visuals are said to be homage to Jean-Pierre Melville’s spirit.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
