Sibyl (2019)
Synopsis
Synopsis
A sly, sultry character study from filmmaker
Justine Triet, SIBYL follows a psychotherapist (Virginie Efira) who
decides to quit her practice and return to writing instead. As Sibyl
starts dropping patients, she begins to struggle with excess time and a
lack of inspiration--until she gets a call from Margot (Adèle
Exarchopoulos), a young actress wrapped up in a dramatic affair with her
costar, Igor (Gaspard Ulliel), who happens to be married to the film's
director (Sandra Hüller). Becoming further enmeshed in Margot's life,
Sibyl starts to blur past and present, fiction with reality, and the
personal with the professional as she begins to use Margot's life as
source material for her novel.
