Babysitter

Babysitter explores toxic masculinity, new motherhood and sexual awakening. When Nadine (Monia Chokri) falls into postpartum depression, her unemployed husband could have helped. Cedric got fired from his job at an advertising agency for sexually harassing a television presenter. He could have helped, but that's not gonna happen, because the sexual predator prefers writing a book to babysitting. He makes his self-criticism in a bizarre autobiography designed to polish his image. The decision is made: a nanny must be hired. To the rescue – like Mary Poppins – arrives Amy, an alluring, provocative teenager who will awaken the fantasies of the whole family. Babysitter, a combination of feminist comedy and horror, plays out at an insane, cascading pace and dazzles with its texture of techniques. It recalls the cinema of Anna Biller, both stylistically and thanks to its undidactic criticism of patriarchal thinking.
