2015: Ma Folie

This report provides an overview of the 2015 Austrian film , directed by Andrina Mračnikar

• Post-Charlie Hebdo Reflection: Following the January 2015 attacks, French media turned inward. Listeners craved authenticity and raw emotion over polished, happy-go-lucky dance music.
• The Rise of "La Nouvelle Scène": 2015 saw the explosion of artists like Nekfeu, Vald, and Lomepal, who rapped and sang about anxiety, depression, and obsessive relationships. "Ma Folie" fit perfectly into this new wave of "emo-rap."
• Streaming vs. Radio: While radio stuck with tropical house (think Lean On), streaming algorithms pushed deeper cuts. "Ma Folie" thrived on late-night Spotify playlists.

Genre: A blend of romantic drama and psychological thriller. Release Dates: Austria: March 27, 2015. Germany: July 21, 2016.

The story follows Hanna (Alice Dwyer), who falls for Yann (Sabin Tambrea) after receiving a series of "lettres filmées"—short, artistic video messages recorded on his iPhone. What begins as a passionate amour fou quickly sours as Yann’s deep-seated mistrust leads him to leave Hanna, though he refuses to leave her alone. ma folie 2015

Thematic Depth: The Burden of the Past The English title My Folly is an apt translation, but perhaps "madness" or "delusion" captures the weight of the subject better. The film is deeply concerned with the inescapability of the past. Hedi is trapped in a loop, unable to move forward because she cannot accept the loss of her previous relationship. The "folly" is not just her mental state, but the human belief that we can rewrite history.
