Overview
- Karma, which premiered Friday at the Grand Théâtre Lumière in a hors compétition slot, drew a standing ovation as Canet dedicated the film to Marion Cotillard.
- Marion Cotillard leads as a woman under suspicion after her young nephew vanishes, with Denis Ménochet as a domineering patriarch and Leonardo Sbaraglia as her partner.
- Canet and Cotillard walked the red carpet with their son Marcel, adding a personal note to the high‑profile unveiling.
- Early coverage highlights a stark psychological and mystic tone, with praise for Cotillard and Ménochet, Benoît Debie’s tense visuals, and a brooding score by Yodelice.
- The film opens in France on October 21, 2026, following years of research into cult control that Canet says informed the story’s unsettling realism.
