Yoann Thibaut Mathias

Yoann Thibaut Mathias, not exactly a household name yet, but honestly, it feels like that’s about to shift. You’ve got this guy popping up all over the place, especially with his work on “Meanwhile on Earth” (2024), “The Confidante” (2024), and “Le bal des oubliés” (2024). If you’re into films that actually try to say something, you might want to keep your eyes peeled for his projects. “Meanwhile on Earth” – that one’s a trip. It’s the kind of story that throws you into the deep end, juggling philosophy and everyday weirdness. The plot? Well, it messes with the big questions: who are we, what the heck are we doing here, and is anyone even listening? There’s this thread of existential dread running through it, but it’s not all doom and gloom. The characters actually feel like people you’d meet at a bar at 2 a.m., rambling about life, love, and the bizarre stuff nobody else wants to talk about. Then there’s “The Confidante.” This film goes for the jugular—lots of secrets, betrayals, and that constant tension where you’re never sure who’s playing who. It’s sharp, moody, and will probably make you side-eye your closest friends for a week after watching. Finally, “Le bal des oubliés” brings the drama, but with a poetic edge. It’s haunting, kinda beautiful, and it lingers with you long after the credits roll. Mathias isn’t just making movies—he’s leaving breadcrumbs for anyone who’s tired of the usual Hollywood fluff.
