The Curse of Courbefy

At the heart of Limousin, a ghost village resists any renaissance. Courbefy, a rural ghost story where reality surpasses legend.

Deep in the Limousin region, a small abandoned hamlet resists any rebirth. Sold, resold, coveted by artists, foreign investors and simple dreamers, Courbefy seems struck by an invisible curse. Each attempt at resurrection encounters dramas or mysteries, reinforcing its reputation as a cursed village. With cinematic writing, straddling ghost story and societal tale, The Curse of Courbefy unveils a story where the real flirts with legend. Behind this small local tale lies a universal narrative that connects a Limousin hillside to tragic events as far as Korea.

Statement from the director :

« Courbefy is not just a setting or a subject—it’s an experience. During filming, I felt that this village watched me as much as I filmed it. Every ruin, every silence seemed to contain a buried story. My challenge was to find the right distance: capture the invisible without betraying its mystery. You don’t come away from Courbefy unscathed. »
— Laurline Danguy des Déserts, Director
