Roma Elastica is Equally Daring and Fantastical at Brooklyn Horror Film Festival

At the eleventh annual Brooklyn Horror Film Festival, Bertrand Mandico’s latest film Roma Elastica premiered. Set in 1982 Rome, the film stars Marion Cotillard as Eddie, an aging actress, and Noemie Merlant as Valentina, her assistant, as they navigate the film industry while reality begins to crumble around them. The reviewer notes that while not strictly a horror film, Roma Elastica functions as an arthouse and queer film from a horror-devoted auteur who references genre classics. The film’s strength lies in both its ensemble performances and its meticulously crafted visuals, featuring dreamy Roman sets and carefully considered mise-en-scène. The theatrical release in France is scheduled for December 23rd, 2026, with no American wide release date announced yet.
