-Who is Marion Le Corroller?

I’m a young French film-maker in love with body-horror. I first studied Finance for five years before turning to cinema and directing. My first feature film “Sanguine” (Species – international title) is premiering this year in Cannes at the Midnight screening, in the Official Competition.  

-Do you remember the exact moment you fell in love with cinema?

Yes, when I saw Titanic for the first time, as a kid. It was during my summer holidays at my grandparents’ countryside home. They had recorded the film on television. I watched it a hundred times. I knew the dialogues by heart. I knew at this exact moment that I wanted to do this job for the rest of my life. 

-Tell us about your project “SPECIES (SANGUINE)”.

It’s a body-horror film about young people having troubles adapting to the work market. It tells the story of a young resident, working at a hospital who starts developing unknown symptoms on her own body….

-Which Director inspires you the most?

Ari Aster. He is my master, I’m such a huge fan of his work. I don’t know any other director as brillant as him. “Beau is afraid” blew my mind, it’s a masterpiece. According to me, he’s the new king of horror. 

-What do you dislike about the world and what would you change?

The fact that people have stopped thinking, or that everybody thinks the same because everybody thinks the way chat GPT thinks… I would encourage people whom dare thinking out of the box and fighting for their ideas, even if they are radical. 

-How do you imagine cinema in 100 years?

I think it will probably be the last room where we’ll be able to defend non conventional ideas and point of views. The last room of freedom in a very asepticized world.
