Memories are made of this: Adèle Exarchopoulos as Joanne.
WHAT IF YOU could dive into people’s memories by recreating their scent? That’s the question explored in Léa Mysius’ offbeat drama — named after the five mountain peaks in the French Alps that give the film’s village setting its name — which follows Vicky (Sally Dramé), a little girl whose hyper-keen sense of smell leads to her accessing her mother Joanne’s (Adèle Exarchopoulos) inner life. The filmmaker tells Empire about creating a fragrant fairy tale.
