Emerging as a bold new voice in French genre cinema, Marion Le Corroller is known for her incisive visual style and uncompromising narrative approach. Following several acclaimed short films that showcased her keen sense of tension and sharp directorial technique, she makes her feature directorial debut with Sanguine.
