Plot
Julie is the star player at an elite tennis academy. When their coach is suddenly investigated and suspended, all the players at the club are called upon to speak out, but Julie chooses to remain silent. Belgium’s official entry for the «Best International Feature» category at the 97th Academy Awards in 2025. This is truly a small masterpiece, executed to perfection. The cinematography, acting, editing, production design and sparse use of music all come together perfectly. It’s natural, it reveals how much love and effort has gone into it. There’s a natural blend of flamenco and French that you don’t see in Belgian cinema. But that’s exactly how kids in the wealthy communities of Brussels speak. And yes, everyone has trouble with German. This film is so subtle that even the verb in the title throws it off balance. Simply «Julie» would have sufficed. And yet, every bounce of the tennis ball feels like dynamite straight out of Clouzot’s «The Wages of Fear.»
