It’s officially December, which means it is time to start compiling those best film of the year lists. Before you do, we highly encourage you to first seek out the fantastic Femme. THN caught the movie back at Berlin Film Festival and were immediately smitten with this “intense, beautiful, thought-provoking, and devastating” movie. Written and directed by duo Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choo Ping, Femme is a neo-noir revenge thriller that will get your heart pumping. Jules’ life and career as a drag queen is destroyed by a homophobic attack, but when he re-encounters his attacker, Preston, in a gay sauna, he is presented with a chance to exact revenge.
Starring George MacKay as Preston, and Nathan Stewart-Jarrett as Jules, Femme is so intense that audiences will dare not even breathe. It is honestly one of the best films, not only of the year, but also of the decade. Femme is out now in cinemas across the UK, so make sure that you make a date with Jules and Preston at your earliest convenience.
Ahead of the release THN were able to speak with co-directors Sam H. Freeman and Ng Choo Ping to discover more about this very special project. Femme is one of the most intense viewing experiences that I have had in years. The tension is almost suffocating at times, how did you work at crafting it?SAM H. FREEMAN: It was driven by the films that inspired us.
Our direct references when we came up with the idea, which was before we made a short or the feature, we were really inspired by a genre of film that really pushes into that. Particularly the films of the Safdie Brothers; they were big inspiration. We really wanted to explore that genre and queer it for ourselves.
