INNOCENCE, EVOLUTION, EARWIG, THE ICE TOWER & shorts. A 4-disc journey through one of France's most singular contemporary filmmakers.

The Worlds Of Lucile Hadžihalilović presents a comprehensively immersive journey through the filmography of one of contemporary cinema's most singular voices. Known for her work as editor and collaborator with Gaspar Noé, writer/director Lucile Hadžihalilović has crafted a body of work defined by poetic surrealism, where innocence and dread coexist in delicately constructed worlds that unfold like dark fairy tales. This 4-disc collection brings together her four acclaimed features--Innocence, Evolution, Earwig, and The Ice Tower--alongside her early short films, forming a complete portrait of an artist whose films balance tenderness, ambiguity, and quiet menace. Often described as 'delicately poisoned fairy tales' (Le Monde), her work explores themes of transformation, isolation, and the fragile boundary between childhood and the unknown.

This definitive edition includes over four hours of special features that deepen the exploration of Hadžihalilović's creative process. Highlights include introductions by the director, short films De Natura and Nectar, cast insights such as Zoé Auclair's breakdown of Innocence, and in-depth conversations with collaborators including cinematographers Manu Dacosse and Jonathan Ricquebourg and writer Alanté Kavaïté. Additional materials include video essays by Alexandra Heller-Nicholas, Q&As from the IFC Center, and multiple interviews examining each film's visual language and thematic structure.

Critically acclaimed across all four features, the collection captures a filmmaker whose work has been praised by the British Film Institute as 'one of the most distinctive, enchantingly sinister bodies of work in modern film.' From the eerie beauty of Innocence to the unsettling precision of Evolution, the emotional tension of Earwig, and the hypnotic atmosphere of The Ice Tower, this set stands as both a curated retrospective and an essential archive. The Worlds Of Lucile Hadžihalilović is a landmark release for collectors and cinephiles, offering a rare opportunity to experience a complete and uncompromised vision of modern European art cinema.
