Atlantics (French: Atlantique) is a 2019 internationally co-produced supernatural[3] romantic drama film directed by Mati Diop, in her feature directorial debut.[4] It was selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at the 2019 Cannes Film Festival.[5][6] Diop made history when the film premiered at Cannes, becoming the first Black woman to direct a film featured in competition at the festival.[7]
The film is centered around a young woman, Ada, and her partner, Souleiman, struggling in the face of employment, class, migration, crime, family struggles, and ghosts.[8] Working mostly with unknown actors, Diop focused in the film on issues such as the refugee crisis, remorse, loss, grief, class struggle, and taking responsibility (or not) for one's actions.[9] The Atlantic Ocean is used in many ways throughout the film, including as a symbol and as an engine for change, growth, life, and death.[10]
