About Bloody Oranges
Four ordinary ambitions collide in a city that doesn't cut anyone slack. A retired couple drowning in debt enters a dance contest hoping the prize will pull them back from the brink. At the same time, the minister of economy faces accusations of tax evasion, stirring political heat. A teenage girl crosses paths with a dangerous predator, and a young lawyer fights to ascend in a world that rewards power and luck. When the disruptions explode, the supposed winners aren't necessarily the ones you'd expect, and the outcome upends everyone's plans in surprising ways.
Details on the director, release date and distribution aren’t provided in the data, but the project is listed with Amélie Philippe, Yohann Gloaguen and Jean-Christophe Meurisse as its creators. The trio’s collaboration suggests a potentially independent, collaborative approach typical of contemporary French cinema. The blend of genres indicated by the title and synopsis points to a tone that shifts between comedy, horror, crime and drama, likely aimed at festival environments hungry for offbeat storytelling.
Box office numbers aren’t included in the data, and there is no worldwide gross listed, so the commercial performance cannot be assessed here. Without visibility into theater counts, distribution strategies or audience reception, it's hard to judge how widely Bloody Oranges traveled beyond niche circuits.
No major awards are noted in the provided information, and there’s no record of significant nominations. While the data doesn't indicate any major nominations or wins, the film genre blend and premise suggest it could appeal to festivals seeking dark humor and social satire. However, with no formal award data, its reception will depend on how audiences and critics respond to its tonal shifts and moral questions. Some festival programmers prize audacity and originality in tackling debt, desire and power, and Bloody Oranges might fit that brief.
From the synopsis, Bloody Oranges seems to mix comedy with crime and drama to probe debt, ambition and moral compromise. With multiple storylines intersecting, it hints at a satirical take on luck and power and how easily appearances mislead. The premise promises a balance of dark humor and social critique, hinting that the real victory may belong to someone who defies expectations when the dust settles.
