Head in the Clouds (2004)
Gilda Bessé shares her Paris apartment with an Irish schoolteacher, Guy Malyon, and Mia, a refugee from Spain. As the world drifts toward war, Gilda defiantly pursues her hedonistic lifestyle and her burgeoning career as a photographer. But Guy and Mia feel impelled to join the fight against fascism, and the three friends are separated.
🏳️🌈 John Duigan's historical drama explicitly incorporates a prominent sáfic thread, tracking the passionate bohemian lifestyle in 1930s Paris that includes a romantic affair between Charlize Theron and Penélope Cruz.
