The Dazzled
A 12-year-old acrobat is pressured by her church to quit her training in actress-turned-director Sarah Suco’s debut feature, a mesmerizing slow burn set in an insular Catholic community.
The Dazzled is now available to view for free on Festival Scope as part of highlights from the 25th edition of Rendez-Vous with French Cinema, which was unfortunately cut short due to the unexpected theater closure in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In partnership with Unifrance. Limited tickets are available in the U.S. only.
Actress-turned-director Sarah Suco’s debut feature is a mesmerizing slow burn set in an insular Catholic community.
