“September says”, interview with director Ariane Labed

After directing a successful short film, “Olla“, actress turned director Ariane Labed presents at the 77th Cannes Film Festival her debut feature, “September says“.

Based on Daisy Johnson’s 2020 novel’ Sisters’, the film stars the young though remarkable actresses Pascale Kann and Mia Tharia and, in the role of their mother, Rakhee Thakrar, well known for the Netflix series “Sex Education“.

“September says” depicts the loving but toxic relationship of codependence between two sisters, very close in age, the fragile but violent September and the most docile July.

Labed who admits to not remember whether she was always faithful to the book or not, as author Daisy Johnson gave her freedom to adapt it to screen as she felt right, explores power games and “how unconditional love in family can be very powerful and terribly dangerous”
