"...Counted as another intriguing aspect of the film industry, Saint Laurent Productions, a subsidiary of the Saint Laurent empire, took charge of crafting full-fledged films under the prestigious brand name of this French luxury brand. They have sent various films to participate as one of the key players in the 77th Cannes Film Festival held annually in 2024..."

Under the leadership, vision, and imagination of Anthony Vaccarello, the creative director of the brand, it comes as no surprise that the three films named Emilia Perez, The Shrouds, and Parthenope, have garnered considerable acclaim, both within the fashion world and among film critics who frequent the festival.

Emilia Perez

The story of Rita, a lawyer at a large firm that is more interested in getting criminals off the hook than bringing them to justice. One day, she is given an unexpected way out, when cartel leader Manitas hires her to help him withdraw from his business and realize a plan he has been secretly preparing for years: to become the woman he has always dreamt of being.

The Shrouds

Karsh, 50, is a prominent businessman. Inconsolable since the death of his wife, he invents GraveTech, revolutionary and controversial technology that enables the living to monitor their dear departed in their shrouds. One night, multiple graves, including that of Karsh's wife, are desecrated. Karsh sets out to track down the perpetrators.

Parthenope

The long journey of Parthenope's life, from her birth in 1950 till today. A feminine epic, devoid of heroism but brimming with an inexorable passion for freedom, the faces of love-all those true, pointless, and unspeakable loves. Interestingly, The backdrop of this film captures the enchantment of summer of Capri, brimming with the exuberance of youth, the hopefulness of life, and the unavoidable waves of melancholy. If one were to encapsulate the essence of this film in a single word, "life" would be the most fitting.
