Atlantique follows the two young lovers Ada and Souliman. At first their love seems innocent and sweet, but behind the scenes we soon find out its nothing like that…
Ada is about to marry a rich man she doesn’t love while Souliman plans on leaving the country in search for a better life – he works a hard job in construction and hasn’t received his salary for months.
When the two part a mysterious fever breaks out, turning life in the city upside down. Issa, a young, ambitious policeman, starts an investigation.
Atlantique already came out in Dutch cinemas, but we program this film in our New Makers selection for two (plus 100) reasons.
First of all this film blew us away. It is visually stunning, there is magical, unique storytelling and the sound-score is amazing. It made us realise how 3-dimensional film can be stimulating all of our senses. Candy for our eyes and ears, feeding our heart, soul and brain.
The second reason is that the visitor numbers were disappointing. Hello Dutch people, what were you doing!? You missed the film of the year. Luckily you have one more chance, so you better be there!
