The Beggars

The Beggars (1988)

This symbolic drama from director Benoit Jacques underscores the characters' human need for affection. Children steal lemons for the thrill, while women steal other women's men from them just to prove they can. Drug smuggling, clandestine love affairs, and two lovers involved with the production of Shakespeare's Othello carry on with their own off-stage tragedy.

Director: Benoît Jacquot
Writers: Benoît Jacquot, Pascal Bonitzer.
