Jumbo (2020) watch online

Jumbo is a 2020 fantasy drama film written and directed by Zoé Wittock in her feature directorial debut. An international co-production of France, Belgium and Luxembourg, the film stars Noémie Merlant as Jeanne, a shy amusement-park worker who develops a romantic and sexual attachment to a fairground ride. Emmanuelle Bercot, Bastien Bouillon and Sam Louwyck appear in supporting roles.

The film was inspired by accounts of object sexuality, particularly the story of Erika Eiffel, an American woman known for her relationship with the Eiffel Tower. Wittock approached the subject as a love story rather than a clinical study, using the movement, lights and sounds of an amusement-park ride to suggest communication between Jeanne and the machine.

Jumbo had its world premiere in the World Cinema Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival on 24 January 2020 and subsequently screened in the Generation 14plus section of the 70th Berlin International Film Festival. Its planned Belgian theatrical release was cancelled following the closure of cinemas during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it was instead released there on video on demand. The film received a nomination for European Discovery at the 33rd European Film Awards, and at the 11th Magritte Awards was nominated for Best First Feature Film and Best Supporting Actor for Louwyck.
