French Film Review: Saint Exupéry

In 1930s Argentina, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry fights to save airmail – and a friend – in this gripping tale of courage and resilience.

We join free-spirited pilot Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Louis Garrel) in 1930s Argentina, where he is working for the French airmail service, Aéropostale. Alongside legendary aviator Henri Guillaumet (Vincent Cassel), Saint-Exupéry faces an uncertain future as new transportation methods threaten the future of airmail. Their daring quest for perilous shortcuts over the Andes takes a dramatic tum when Guillaumet disappears, prompting Saint-Exupéry to embark on a hazardous rescue mission. It’s a thrilling tribute to friendship and resilience, with Diane Kruger adding emotional depth as Noëlle Guillaumet.
