Known For
The second narrative film by Italian born filmmaker and creative director Andre Bato, "Petit Louis" (2023) follows the romance between young runaway Chiara and inscrutable French artist J. Set entirely within the confines of a small European apartment that the camera never leaves, the film unfolds over the duration of their relationship, offering a candid exploration of love in the mid-1970s.
