About the film
Parallel Tales (French: Histoires Parallèles) is a 2026 French-language drama film produced and directed by Asghar Farhadi, co-written with Massoumeh Lahidji, and loosely based on Krzysztof Kieślowski's Dekalog: Six. Starring an ensemble cast that includes Isabelle Huppert, Virginie Efira, Vincent Cassel, Pierre Niney and Adam Bessa, it follows Sylvie (Huppert), a famous author seeking inspiration on the neighbors across the street, who hires the mysterious Adam (Bessa) as assistant, but he quickly turns her life upside down. The film had its world premiere at the main competition of the 2026 Cannes Film Festival on 14 May, and was theatrically released in France on the same day by Memento Films. It received mostly negative reviews from critics.
