French director Luc Besson, known for such iconic works as Léon and The Fifth Element, is back with a new project entitled June & John. Shot discreetly during the 2020 Los Angeles confinement, the film was made on a shoestring budget and shot entirely on iPhone. It features emerging actors Matilda Price and Luke Stanton Eddy in the lead roles.
June & John will be shown at the Grand Rex on April 17, 2025 at 8pm, then on Ciné+ OCS from April 23, 2025.
Synopsis: Trapped in a dreary everyday life, John's life is turned upside down when he meets June, a woman full of life and daring. Together, they embark on an unpredictable adventure of passion, risk and personal discovery - a race against time (and the law) that infuses their lives with color, magic and love.
June & John could appeal to fans of contemporaryromances with a fantastic twist. Viewers who appreciate tales where ordinary characters are drawn into extraordinary adventures may also find something to enjoy. The film seems to follow in the footsteps of productions such as Luc Besson's Angel-A, mixing romance with supernatural elements. However, those who prefer realistic works or more conventional genres may not be attracted by this proposal.
June & John marks a return to his roots for Luc Besson, returning to more intimate, experimental productions. The choice of shooting with limited means and little-known actors recalls his early days in independent cinema. This approach could offer a refreshingly different perspective from his previous blockbusters.
