nCorsica Shines at the César 2025 Nominations with “Le Royaume” and “Borgo”
The island of Corsica is making waves in the French film industry as two of its cinematic gems, Le Royaume and Borgo, have been officially selected for the prestigious César Awards 2025. The ceremony, set to take place on February 28 in Paris, promises to be a celebration of French cinema, with Corsica proudly represented.
Le Royaume, directed by Julien Colonna, has been nominated in the “Best First Film” category. The film, which premiered last November, tells the poignant story of Lesia, a Corsican teenager whose life takes a dramatic turn one summer. “The idea of my film Le Royaume is to depict a relationship between a father and his daughter in a world where everything dies,” Colonna explained in an interview with France 3 Régions. The narrative unfolds as Lesia is taken by a mysterious man on a motorcycle to join her father, a notorious figure in the island’s underworld, in an isolated villa.What follows is a gripping tale of tenderness, tension, and survival.
The film’s nomination is a testament to its powerful storytelling and the rich cultural backdrop of Corsica. It’s not just a story about family; it’s a window into the complexities of life on the island, where beauty and danger often intertwine.
Joining Le royaume in the spotlight is Borgo,another Corsican film that has captured the attention of the César Academy. While details about borgo are still emerging, its inclusion in the official selection underscores the growing influence of Corsican cinema on the national stage.
The nominations have sparked excitement across Corsica, with locals and film enthusiasts eagerly anticipating the ceremony. “It’s a proud moment for our island,” said one resident. “These films not only tell our stories but also showcase the beauty of our land.”
As the countdown to the César Awards begins,all eyes are on Le Royaume and Borgo. Will they bring home the coveted trophies? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain: Corsica’s cinematic voice is louder than ever.
